Can someone please help me with adding a citation to Bobbi Gibb's article? I tried adding a citation at the end of paragraph 2 using <citation URL pasted in>, but this put the whole URL in the text. It didn't convert it to a footnote.
I would appreciate anyone's assistance on this.
Many thanks.

Otherwise, you can ask us to provide the referencing code for you; get the URL/ISBN/ DOI and whatever other information might be useful, then ask me (or anyone else) to turn it into a reference for you. You can ask me here, and anyone else here. Hope this helped. Seagull123 Φ 23:41, 8 January 2016 (UTC)
Hi, I've just noticed what you've put at your sandbox (see here) and I am concerned that this may be a conflict of interest (COI) on the Bobbi Gibb article. Please be aware that editing about something you are closely connected to (you are the article subject's administrative assistant) is generally discouraged on Wikipedia. Please also be aware that if you are being paid to edit Wikipedia, the Wikimedia Foundation terms of use state that you must make a declaration of this. I would suggest you read a simple guide to dealing with COIs for more information on this, as it can be quite confusing this topic. Please also make sure you know about the neutral point of view policy on Wikipedia. Thanks, if you need any more help, ask here. Seagull123 Φ 23:53, 8 January 2016 (UTC)
Yes, thank you. You are correct on all counts. I am Bobbi's admin assistant. She is paying me to correct what she felt were a couple of misleading statements. After reading the COI info last week, I told her we could not edit any more. She understands, and I think is fine with everything else. Frankly, the article is an EXCELLENT article as far as I'm concerned.
Thank you very much for your assistance!

Editors who are compensated for their contributions must disclose their employer, client and affiliation with respect to any paid contributions. They must do this on their main user page, or on the talk page accompanying any paid contributions, or in edit summaries. The conflict of interest guideline further advises editors to place the {{ connected contributor (paid)}} template at the top of the talk page accompanying any paid contributions (and to fill in the parameters), and to supply a clearly visible list of their paid contributions on their main user page.

If you need any help with this, just let me know. I'll probably be able to put the paid contributor template up for you, but anything else, just say. Thanks. Seagull123 Φ 00:32, 9 January 2016 (UTC)
Thank you. If you could put the template up for me, I would very much appreciate it. Working on Wikipedia is very much out of my comfort zone and basic knowledge skills. Jan Kraft ( talk) 00:58, 9 January 2016 (UTC)

You are an angel, Seagull123. I put what you gave me on my User Page, in addition to the other place you put it for me. I am very grateful you made this a relatively painless process. Many, many thanks! Jan Kraft ( talk) 01:20, 10 January 2016 (UTC)
