Question from Principe Mejia II (00:11, 26 July 2024)
[edit]Si la percupacion es mi User name puede ser de otra manera, pero mi pocion es que es lamentable que un gobierno en todo lo que su ciudad #2 #3 no puedan estar. Osea los paises por porvincia y caba una gorbernntes diferentes.
If the concern is my User name it may be otherwise, but my point is that it is regrettable that a government in everything that its city #2 #3 cannot be. That is to say, the countries by province and caba a different governing body.
Se a percupação for o meu nome de utilizador poderia ser de outra forma, mas a minha opinião é que é uma pena que um governo em tudo o que a sua cidade #2 #3 não possa ser. Quer dizer, os países por província e havia governantes diferentes --Principe Mejia II (talk) 00:11, 26 July 2024 (UTC)

Question from Sadsolarpanel (04:57, 25 August 2024)
[edit]How do I cite something? I’ve read the tutorial and it didn’t make much sense to me. Many thanks. --Sadsolarpanel (talk) 04:57, 25 August 2024 (UTC)
- Hey Sadsolarpanel, I'm happy to help as it seems ~delta is taking a break at the moment. Citations are generally placed within
<ref>...</ref>
tags in the source code of an article, which causes a footnote to appear in the references list at the bottom. Write the reference information within the tags; you can write it in plain text but it is recommended to use a citation template such as {{cite book}}, which will automatically format the reference for you, among other benefits. As an example, to cite this book you would insert the following markup into the source:<ref>{{cite book |last=Napier |first=Susan J. |year=2018 |title=Miyazakiworld: A Life in Art |isbn=978-0-3002-2685-0}}</ref>
. This generates this citation:[1]
References
- ^ Napier, Susan J. (2018). Miyazakiworld: A Life in Art. ISBN 978-0-3002-2685-0.
- Consider reading Help:Referencing for beginners for further information, which is a simplified version of the main Wikipedia:Citing sources guideline. Let me know if you have any questions! —TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 16:32, 26 August 2024 (UTC)
