[[Image:Information.svg|25px|alt=|link=]] Hello, I'm [[User:FoCuSandLeArN|FoCuSandLeArN]]. I noticed that in <span class="plainlinks">[https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=List%20of%20special%20elections%20to%20the%20United%20States%20Senate&diff=750133070 this edit]<span> to [[:List of special elections to the United States Senate]], you removed content without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an [[Help:Edit summary|edit summary]]. If this was a mistake, don't worry, the removed content has been restored. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on [[User_talk:FoCuSandLeArN|my talk page]]. Thanks. <!-- Template:Huggle/warn-delete-1 --><!-- Template:uw-delete1 --><small>[[User:FoCuSandLeArN|FoCuS]]</small> [[Special:Contributions/FoCuSandLeArN|<span style="color: green">contribs</span>]]; [[User_talk:FoCuSandLeArN|<span style="color: dark blue">talk to me!</span>]] 00:33, 18 November 2016 (UTC)

[[File:Information.svg|25px|alt=Information icon]] Hello, I'm [[User:Shearonink|Shearonink]]. I noticed that you made several edits to an article, [[:List of United States Presidential firsts]], but you didn't provide [[Wikipedia:Identifying reliable sources|reliable sources]]. The content has been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to [[Wikipedia:Citing sources|include a citation]] and re-add it, please do so! If you need guidance on referencing, please see the [[Help:Referencing for beginners|referencing for beginners]] tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on [[User_talk:Shearonink|my talk page]]. Thank you. <!-- Template:uw-unsourced1 --> [[User:Shearonink|Shearonink]] ([[User talk:Shearonink|talk]]) 18:19, 22 November 2016 (UTC)

== Adding references can be easy ==
[[File:Wikipedia- Using Cite option from toolbar.jpg|thumb|450px|Just follow the steps 1, 2 and 3 as shown and fill in the details]] Hello! Here's how to [[WP:REFB|add references]] from [[WP:RS|reliable sources]] for the content you add to Wikipedia. This helps maintain the Wikipedia policy of [[Wikipedia:Verifiability|verifiability]].<br />
Adding well formatted references is actually quite easy: 
#While editing any article or a wikipage, on the top of the edit window you will see a [[Help:Edit toolbar|toolbar]] which says "'''Cite'''".  Click on it.	
#Then click on "'''Templates'''".	
#Choose the most appropriate template and '''fill in as many details as you can'''.  This will add a well formatted reference that is helpful in case the [[URL|web URL (or "website link")]] becomes [[Wikipedia:Link rot|inactive]] in the future.
#Click on '''Preview''' when you're done filling out the 'Cite (web/news/book/journal)' to make sure that the reference is correct.
#Click on '''Insert''' to insert the reference into your editing window content.
#Click on '''Show preview''' to Preview all your editing changes.
::*<u>Before</u> clicking on '''Save page''', check that a References header {{space|2}}'''<nowiki>==References==</nowiki>'''{{space|2}} is near the end of the article.
::*<u>And</u> check that {{space|2}}'''<nowiki>{{Reflist}}</nowiki>''' {{space|2}} is directly underneath that header.
:7.{{space|2}}Click on '''Save page'''. ...and you've just added a complete reference to a Wikipedia article.
You can read more about this on [[Help:Edit toolbar]] or see this video [[:File:RefTools.ogv]].<br />
Hope this helps, --[[User:Shearonink|Shearonink]] ([[User talk:Shearonink|talk]]) 18:21, 22 November 2016 (UTC)

You are welcome to continue editing without [[Special:Userlogin|logging in]], but many editors recommend that you '''<span class="plainlinks">[{{fullurl:Special:Userlogin|type=signup&campaign=anonwelcometemplate}} create an account]</span>'''. Doing so is free, requires no personal information, and provides several benefits such as the ability to create articles.

If you edit without a username, your [[IP address]] (147.126.10.21) is used to identify you instead.

==Images instructions==

To use a picture on Wikipedia, we need permission from whoever owns it.<br />
*If it is your OWN picture - then you can just upload it yourself, at "Commons", saying "It is entirely my own work" - at http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Upload .
*If it is NOT YOURS, then the owner can give permission in two ways;
:A) They could put it on a website (flickr, or their own site) with an appropriate licence, such as "Public Domain" or "Creative Commons Attribution Share-Alike" (that is an option in flickr)
:B) They could email us permission. You could ask them to do that, by sending them an email saying something like: 
::"Hi, I've written a page on Wikipedia, and I'd really like to add a picture - but as Wikipedia is FREE, we can only use freely-licenced pictures. If you have any which you can give permission for, please send me an email back with the text below, and the picture(s) attached."
::-Then add a copy of this: http://enwp.org/user:chzz/help/myboilerplate (having filled the form out)<br />
::-And send the email (attached picture file + completed form) to: permissions-commons@wikimedia.org<br />
If any of your questions about how to insert images into an article aren't answered in these instructions, additional information is available at the following Wikipedia articles:<br />
[[Help:Introduction to uploading images/1]]<br />
[[Help:Files]]<br />
[[Help:Contents/Images and media]] (for a master-listing of all pertinent image-use links).<br />
