- Do a search on Google or your preferred search engine for the subject of the Wikipedia article that you want to create a citation for.
- Find a website that supports the claim you are trying to find a citation for.
- In a new tab/window, go to the citation generator, click on the 'An arbitrary website' bubble, and fill out as many fields as you can about the website you just found.
- Click the 'Get reference wiki text' button.
- Highlight, and then copy (Ctrl+C or Apple+C), the resulting text (it will be something like
<ref> {{cite web | .... }}</ref>, copy the whole thing). - In the Wikipedia article, after the claim you found a citation for, paste (Ctrl+V or Apple+V) the text you copied.
- If the article does not have a References or Notes section (or the like), add this to the bottom of the page, but above the External Links section and the categories:
==References==
{{Reflist}}

On Midy's theorem, some of the math text is cut off when viewing it on mobile. Should one enclose the cut off parts in a style="overflow:auto" div or is there a better solution?

- Normally, when q math formula exceeds the width of the screen, you can scroll it from right to left or vice versa to see the hidden part of the formula. The way for doing this may depend on your configuration. As math formulas are displayed as images, there is, as far as I know, no other way for seeing large formulas without inserting line breaks manually. D.Lazard (talk) 14:15, 29 March 2025 (UTC)

On Oshere of Hwicce the references section is titled Notes. Wikipedia:SFN shows an example of Notes being for short footnotes. Should the section be renamed to References/Citations or should it remain titled Notes?

- Per MOS:REFERENCES, while the “references” section heading is most popular, it is not required and there are other options it can be titled, including “notes”. If it is not conflicting with another section on the page, it is probably best it stays as is has been. cyberdog958Talk 23:22, 2 May 2025 (UTC)

While editing Ermenilda of Ely I found an external link to Godchecker. A cursory search on English wikipedia resulted in around 60 results where the site is used for citations and external links. My question is whether it is WP:RS or WP:ELNO, especially considering its satirical slant as shown by this external link from Sun Wukong. Halikandry (talk) 00:29, 8 May 2025 (UTC)
- My impression is that this is not an authoritative site, though sometimes it promises to provide some references. It's also not in any sense selective, so on that front would not be considered helpful for notability. I would treat it as WP:ELNO (11) and that NO would get harder if they start selling merch (5). — jmcgnh(talk) (contribs) 01:05, 8 May 2025 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for December 18
[edit]Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Molly McNearney, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Chesterfield. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)
