Fine Writer

You are an excellent writer. I Hope you decide to look into working on more articles and stay with Wikipedia. Please tell me if I can be of any assistance with any technical Wikipedia issue. --Javaweb (talk) 04:46, 13 April 2012 (UTC)Javaweb

I thought you had to be writing for a living in some capacity. --Javaweb (talk) 13:55, 13 April 2012 (UTC)Javaweb

Thank you

Thank you for changing your edits on the Tyler Clementi page. http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk%3ASuicide_of_Tyler_Clementi&diff=487318227&oldid=487286733 I must confess that I am tired of being accused of bias, and in this case I made great efforts to just take exactly what was presented in the reliable sources. If I didn't succeed, I'm happy to see different summaries.LedRush (talk) 12:00, 14 April 2012 (UTC)

Hello. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment.

Citations

Regarding your questions on citation formats, you can find much of what you need here

Also, as a quick way to do this, you can just look elsewhere in the article for a citation that looks good, and then copy and paste it to where you want it to be, filling in the information for the article you want to cite. Tryptofish is much better at this than I, so he might have better suggestions.LedRush (talk) 15:03, 8 May 2012 (UTC)

(Be still my beating heart!) Anyway, the citation template you are looking for is Template:Cite news. --Tryptofish (talk) 22:40, 8 May 2012 (UTC)

Now I remember what I have done for other articles. I clicked on "Cite" on the Talk page, filled in the template that pops up, copied it on a "temporary" Talk item, and then pasted it on the edit page. It would be easier if there were a template in the toolbar on the edit page also. Profspeak (talk) 01:12, 10 May 2012 (UTC)
