Please don't use bare urls or inline external links
Hi. I haven't checked through all of your additions to the Endorsements in the 2023 Australian Indigenous Voice referendum article, but noticed that you have used a lot of bare URLs and inline external links within the article. Please have a look at the guidance on these and why we don't use them on Wikipeidia. I would really appreciate it if you would go back and convert all of those you have added, or they may be removed altogether. For citing, see WP:CITE. You can at the very least use [ ] to enclose the URL, or, slightly better, leaving a space followed by the title, like this e.g. How Long Distance Voyager revitalised The Moody Blues Even better, format the citation using one of the citation templates available, or the citer tool, see here. If you use the latter, the citation still needs to be checked as the results are not always 100% perfect, but they do save a lot of time. Thanks!

 * p.s. While you're there, section headings should be sentence case, and should not include citations - those belong behind the actual text or each listed item. Laterthanyouthink (talk) 06:09, 23 September 2023 (UTC)
 * In addition to what has said above, please ensure that all individuals you add to Endorsements in the 2023 Australian Indigenous Voice referendum are verified by a secondary reliable source. Per consensus reflected in WP:ENDORSE, social media such as Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram, cannot be used on its own to support an individual's endorsement -- regardless of how clear their Yes or No vote intentions appear to be. These entries will continue to be removed. Thank you, —MelbourneStar ☆ talk  01:26, 24 September 2023 (UTC)
 * Hi,
 * sorry, I don’t know what ‘bare urls’ or ‘inline external links’ means.
 * Social media posts is the way many people have shown their support, and is sometimes the only source we have. 49.180.3.225 (talk) 03:17, 24 September 2023 (UTC)
 * If you click on the links in our messages above, you will learn what they are, and more about editing Wikipedia in general. Laterthanyouthink (talk) 06:48, 24 September 2023 (UTC)
 * Thank you for improving your citations. Please do not continue to add inline external links or a space before the ref, use sentence case for subheadings, and ensure that you preview your changes before publishing. I've just done a bit of tidying of the article but there are still a lot of copyediting errors (not necessarily all yours). Please try your best not to create more work for other editors, even if you additions are in good faith. If you're unsure about something, ask on the talk page of the article, or here on your user page. Laterthanyouthink (talk) 07:44, 26 September 2023 (UTC)
 * Thanks for your message. I will go back and fix up the urls and spaces, in the next day or so. Zennni (talk) 10:30, 27 September 2023 (UTC)

Clobbered your version
Sorry but I was trying to do a bit of a cleanup on the article and hit an edit conflict, after doing significant changes, so saved my version. You may have to re-add a few things. I have to go out now so cannot review further, but please try to keep to the editing style indicated above, and check before you publish. I can still see a few citation errors in the refs. Laterthanyouthink (talk) 01:27, 1 October 2023 (UTC)


 * Thanks for your message. I save regularly, so hopefully not too many items were lost.
 * Re the references, I am slowly fixing up the references, but I am not sure what to do when I have a found a pdf as a reference, but it is not clear what website it comes from? i use that citer website, which is great, but it doesn't grab that information either.
 * Also, I saw that long list of musicians, which had no references - is there a copy that exist in the background somewhere, because i could go through and add the ones I can find references for. Zennni (talk) 02:55, 1 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Okay, great, thank you. Unfortunately the citer tool doesn't deal well with PDFs - I usually create my own refs for them. Depending on the publication, I might choose cite book rather than cite web, and add publisher=, date, etc. from the publication itself. If not relevant, cite web is fine but you need to fill in the title at least.
 * BTW unless you are going to use the refs in a different way, you don't need the sfn bit - I usually use the 2nd version of the citation on the citer tool.
 * Do you know how to use the page history to compare versions? It can be handy to see recent changes to the content and may assist in recovering things that got clobbered. Laterthanyouthink (talk) 06:25, 1 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Thanks! Zennni (talk) 04:42, 2 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Sorry, we just clashed again with editing, and I was only able to see your addition about the open letter after I'd saved mine. As I'd reordered the section a bit and done it in list format, I retained mine and removed yours. Both contained identical content and citations.
