How to Participate: Five Basic Steps

 * Step 1: Finding an article that needs a reference (please open the links below in a new screen to find back this page)
 * Click on this link (English Wikipedia) or this link (Dutch Wikipedia) to find a random article that needs a reference.
 * Use the tool Citation Hunt in the English or Dutch Wikipedia. (Click Next! / Volgende! to skip this one and go to another page, click I got this! / Dit gaat mij lukken! if you can add a reference.)
 * Step 2: Finding the reference missing tag in the article
 * Go in the article to the part where the reference is needed (there might be multiple places in the article where this is the case)
 * An easy way to find the place where the reference is needed is by using the search function of your browser, often, and search for   in the English Wikipedia or   in the Dutch Wikipedia.
 * Step 3: Finding a reliable source that confirms the text for what a reference is needed
 * Use Google or Pubmed and your experience to find a reliable source. What counts as a reliable source is explained at WP:RS (WP:MEDRS for health care related topics).
 * If it takes you more than a few minutes to find a source, we suggest you go to another article (step 1)
 * If you can't find a source, just go to the next one.
 * Step 4: Inserting the source you found
 * Edit the page, use preferable the visual editor (because it is a lot easier).
 * Remove the reference missing tag: place the cursor behind the tag and use the  key on your keyboard.
 * Click in the top bar on  (in Dutch:  )
 * Enter in the field the URL, ISBN, etc + click
 * If it is successful, you get a blue button labelled  on what you click.
 * If it is not successful, you get an error message, click then on Manual to enter some info about the reference manually.
 * Step 5: Save changes & you're done!
