[edit] Citations

In the reference section of [[Berlei]], I have a lot of anonymous references. This makes it hard to refer to them in the text .... and it looks bad. While they vary in quality, the references are germain to the article and should be included.

How can I give then a 'tag' when there is no author mention in the reference??

Thanks, Ariconte (talk) 03:52, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

I think you want WP:CITE, which explains better. Generally, {{cite web}}, {{cite book}}, and {{cite magazine}} are the most used citation templates. Each of them explains how to use it, but for those situations where they don't apply, use <ref id="something">My reference material here</ref> and then later use <ref id="something" /> to re-reference that same material. While anonymous sources may in some cases be useful, beware that they may not be reliable according to our policy. I hope that helps. :) ~Kylu (u|t) 04:00, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

I'm looking for advice on how to refer to the articles from the text. I have read the citation guidelines. Should I just leave the last and first fields of the template blank and use whatever get entered as the first word in the reference in the ref link??? Ariconte (talk) 23:48, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

How do I refer to a reference with no author when I have a Notes and a References section as in the [[Berlei]] article???? for instance the Anon6 reference which points to http://www.berlei.com.au/About-Berlei/History/Time-Line.asp Thanks! Ariconte (talk) 00:15, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

If there is no author, just use "Berlei Unlimmited" as the author. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • ^{(Broken clamshells•Otter chirps)} 00:48, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Drinks and a wiki chat?

G'day sydneysider - fancy a 'not quite a meetup but a few drinks' sort of thing? - We can chat about the new aussie chapter, the price of eggs and have our very own 2020 Wiki Summit! - or just sink a couple of cold ones and gass bag about the good 'ol days of wiki, when an editor could get some repsect (not a typo)! I've suggested something here so take a look and sign up if you're up for it... cheers, Privatemusings (talk) 02:29, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
