help referencing for beginners wikipedia may jun jul 17 2021 2022 2023 success fail about this capture timestamps the wayback machine http web archive org web 20220617115336 http en wikipedia org wiki help referencing_for_beginners help referencing for beginners from wikipedia the free encyclopedia jump to navigation jump to search this help page is a how to guide it details processes or procedures of some aspect s of wikipedia s norms and practices it is not one of wikipedia s policies or guidelines and may reflect varying levels of consensus and vetting shortcuts wp refb wp refbegin wp refstart this page assumes you are using the source editor alternatively learn referencing in visualeditor the source editor shows underlying wiki markup like earth the visualeditor works like a word processor wikipedian protester by randall munroe xkcd wikipedians famously demand citations for facts one of the key policies of wikipedia is that all article content has to be verifiable this means that reliable sources must be able to support the material all quotations any material whose verifiability has been challenged or is likely to be challenged and contentious material whether negative positive or neutral about living persons must include an inline citation to a source that directly supports the material this also means that wikipedia is not the place for original work archival findings that have not been published or evidence from any source that has not been published if you are adding new content it is your responsibility to add sourcing information along with it material provided without a source is significantly more likely to be removed from an article sometimes such material will be tagged first with a citation needed template to give editors time to find and add sources before it is removed but often editors will simply remove it because they question its veracity this tutorial will show you how to add inline citations to articles and also briefly explain what wikipedia considers to be a reliable source contents 1 inline citations 2 reftoolbar 3 reliable sources 4 see also inline citations shortcut wp intref2 inline citations are usually small numbered footnotes like this 1 they are generally added either directly following the fact that they support or at the end of the sentence that they support following any punctuation when clicked they take the reader to a citation in a reference section near the bottom of the article while editing a page that uses the most common footnote style you will see inline citations displayed between ref ref tags if you are creating a new page or adding references to a page that didn t previously have any remember to add a references section like the one below near the end of the article references reflist note this is by far the most popular system for inline citations but sometimes you will find other styles being used in an article such as references in parentheses this is acceptable and you shouldn t change it or mix styles to add a new reference just copy and modify an existing one references wales jimmy 2022 what is an inline citation wikipublisher p 6 reftoolbar shortcut wp intref3 this screencast walks through how to use reftools 5 03 min manually adding references can be a slow and tricky process fortunately there is a tool called reftoolbar built into the wikipedia edit window which makes it much easier to use it click on cite at the top of the edit window having already positioned your cursor after the sentence or fact you wish to reference then select one of the templates from the dropdown menu that best suits the type of source these are cite web for references to general websites cite news for newspapers and news websites cite book for references to books cite journal for magazines academic journals and papers a template window then pops up where you fill in as much information as possible about the source and give a unique name for it in the ref name field click the insert button which will add the required wikitext in the edit window if you wish you can also preview how your reference will look first some fields such as a web address also known as a url will have a icon next to them after filling in this field you can click it to handily autofill the remaining fields it doesn t always work properly though so be sure to double check it often you will want to use the same source more than once in an article to support multiple facts in this case you can click named references in the toolbar and select a previously added source to re use reliable sources shortcut wp intref4 wikipedia articles require reliable published sources that directly support the information presented in the article now you know how to add sources to an article but which sources should you use the word source in wikipedia has three meanings the work itself for example a document article paper or book the creator of the work for example the writer and the publisher of the work for example cambridge university press all three can affect reliability reliable sources are those with a reputation for fact checking and accuracy they tend to have an editorial process with multiple people scrutinizing work before it is published academic and peer reviewed publications are usually the most reliable sources other reliable sources include university textbooks books published by respected publishing houses magazines journals and news coverage not opinions from mainstream newspapers self published media where the author and publisher are the same are usually not acceptable as sources these can include newsletters personal websites press releases patents open wikis personal or group blogs and tweets however if an author is an established expert with a previous record of third party publications on a topic their self published work may be considered reliable for that particular topic whether a source is usable also depends on context sources that are reliable for some material are not reliable for other material for instance otherwise unreliable self published sources are usually acceptable to support uncontroversial information about the source s author you should always try to use the best possible source particularly when writing about living people these are general guidelines but the topic of reliable sources is a complicated one and is impossible to fully cover here you can find more information at wikipedia verifiability and at wikipedia reliable sources there is also a list of commonly used sources with information on their reliability try it take a quiz on reliable sources see also wikipedia visualeditor user guide adding a new reference wikipedia visualeditor user guide editing references help referencing for beginners
