How to Add a Citation

 * Use the Citation Hunt tool to find articles in need of citations
 * This tool shows you a snippet of an existing Wikipedia article that needs a citation
 * A tag for [citation needed] displays where a citation needs to be inserted
 * Read the snippet and decide whether you want to find a citation to back up this statement
 * Or click on "Next" to view the next snippet available
 * You can also filter the article search by category by simply typing the info into the search box and selecting from the autocomplete drop-down list
 * When you find the article you want to work on, click on "I got this!" which will take you to the article page
 * Once on the article page, make sure you log in by clicking on "Log In" on the top right corner of the page
 * Search for a reliable source to back up the statement
 * Once you have the source you want to use, come back to the Wikipedia article and click on "Edit"
 * Find the [citation needed] tag
 * Place your cursor to the right of the tag and hit "Delete" to remove it
 * Click on "Cite" and paste the reference link into the "Automatic" tab. You can also input the reference using the "Manual" tab
 * When you are done inputing the citation, Click "Generate" and "Insert"
 * Lastly, include the project hashtag "#1lib1ref" in the Edit Summary area before saving the changes

And, don't forget to share your contribution on social media using #1lib1ref!
