On sources, and reusing refs
Hi, thanks for your efforts to improve Wikipedia on its 20th birthday, quite a thing.
On sources, we generally don't rely on other encyclopedia-like websites (tertiary sources) which offer general definitions: those may be better than nothing, but really we like to use reliable secondary sources which are specialised to the kind of knowledge in a particular article: in a yoga article, that means yoga research or independent yoga websites.
I saw that you added sources to the lead (top) section in articles; this is usually not necessary, as long as the article's body (the main text) is properly cited, i.e. the lead is allowed to rely on the body's citations.
One small thing: if you want to reuse a citation, you don't have to define it all over again with identical copies. All you need to do is to name it the first time, and reuse the name part, like this:
<ref name="AYLI 3.1">As You Like It, Act 3, Scene 1</ref> ......... text.<ref name="AYLI 3.1"/>
Note that the reused named ref has to end with a / just before the final angle bracket.
Note by the way that the final "." goes just before the ref!
What a lot of things to remember all at once. Good luck! Chiswick Chap (talk) 15:02, 15 January 2021 (UTC)
- Hi ChiswickChap,
- Thanks a lot for your information and guidance and as iam new user it will help me in my editing in future.

- Thank you! However, that means choosing the best sources. Those will be textbooks and academic journal articles. Popular news items, blog, and commercial websites are very unlikely to be suitable for anything technical such as science or yoga, and are forbidden on some areas, such as medicine.

Reliable sourcing
Hi - please stop adding citations to 'Medical News Today'? It looks quite ropey, I very much doubt that it's an RS. GirthSummit (blether) 06:41, 18 January 2021 (UTC)
Citation Hunt
I wonder whether you might have fun with Wikipedia:Citation Hunt. You just click the blue button and it will show you a paragraph that another editor has requested a citation for. You can search for your favorite topics if you want. This is a purely optional suggestion, of course, but maybe you'd enjoy it. WhatamIdoing (talk) 05:44, 20 January 2021 (UTC)
Requesting some citation support
Greetings,
Presently I am working on article Draft:Irrational beliefs. Coincidentally article on same topic @ https://psychology.wikia.org/wiki/Irrational_beliefs contains a good write up,That content is okay to use under under CC-BY-SA without copyright issues, but content there does not have any references or citations. So please see if you can help me out in citations for the same content i.e. following paragraphs. Thanks and warm regards Bookku (talk) 09:27, 22 January 2021 (UTC)
- "...Irrational beliefs are attitudes, beliefs values etc that a person strongly holds despite objective evidence, generally available and understood, to the contrary.
- Such beliefs can be maintained by intrapersonal cognitive structures, sometimes based on particular uncommon occurences. For example having been involved in a car accident I develop and maintain a belief that automobile travel is catastophically dangerous. We could develop a notional sliding scale of irrationality from beliefs that are only slight exagerations of what might be considered a 'normal reaction' to such events to extensive delusions which seem completely irrational. Cognitive dissonance theory and psychodynamic theory have been partly developed to explain how such beliefs are maintained.
- They can also be partly shaped by external social pressures. Studies of conformity have indicated how people will report irrational beliefs under the influence of group dynamics and peer pressure, while studies of cults show just how far these effects can go. ..."<ref>https://psychology.wikia.org/wiki/Irrational_beliefs </>
