- 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:

Thank you for your contributions: it's great to see work getting done about our coverage of the languages of Himachal. Just a few notes though.
Here you changed the text from At the time of the 2011 census, census, 44% of the population in the district declared
Kullui as their first language, 23% opted for
Pahari, 10% chose Seraji,
[a]
to At the time of the 2011 census, census, 54% of the population in the district declared
Kullui as their first language, 23% opted for
Pahari
. After your change, the sentence was factually wrong: it is not the case that 54% said they spoke Kullui. Only 44% did, you've just added the 10% who said they spoke Serazi. Given that Serazi is a Kullui dialect, there are situations where it makes sense to add up the two numbers, but we can't do that when reporting the primary census data. Maybe you can have a look at
WP:OR and espeically
WP:SYNTH for some of the reasoning at work here?
Similar siutaitons arise in other articles, so it pays to be careful. I wish the articles could say "N% of the district's population speak the X language", but for Himachal we can't really do that: when asked during the census, speakers of one and the same language variety may identify it variously as either the specific dialect (like Serazi), the language (Kullui), a bigger regional group (Pahadi), or occasionally something even broader (like Hindi). So in most cases, the only option is report those various identifications from the census and make sure we're explicit that we're simply reporting the census data. – Uanfala ( talk) 12:38, 24 February 2023 (UTC)
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Chandigarh, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page English. 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.)

Hello, I'm
Ohnoitsjamie. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article,
Khatri, but you didn't provide a
reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to
include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at
referencing for beginners. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on
my talk page. Thank you.

Please do not introduce incorrect information into articles, as you did to
Gujrat District. Your edits could be interpreted as
vandalism and have been
reverted. If you believe the information you added was correct, please
cite references or sources or discuss the changes on the article's
talk page before making them again. If you would like to experiment, use
your sandbox. Thank you. -

You have recently edited a page related to India, Pakistan, and Afghanistan, a topic designated as contentious. This standard message is designed as an introduction to contentious topics and does not imply that there are any issues with your editing.
A special set of rules applies to certain topic areas, which are referred to as contentious topics. These are specially-designated topics that tend to attract more persistent disruptive editing than the rest of the project and have been designated as contentious topics by the Arbitration Committee. When editing a contentious topic, Wikipedia’s norms and policies are more strictly enforced and Wikipedia administrators have special powers in order to reduce disruption to the project.
Within contentious topics, editors should edit carefully and constructively, refrain from disrupting the encyclopedia, and:
- adhere to the purposes of Wikipedia;
- comply with all applicable policies and guidelines;
- follow editorial and behavioural best practice;
- comply with any page restrictions in force within the area of conflict; and
- refrain from gaming the system.
Editors are advised to err on the side of caution if unsure whether making a particular edit is consistent with these expectations. If you have any questions about contentious topics procedures you may ask them at the arbitration clerks' noticeboard or you may learn more about this contentious topic here. You may also choose to note which contentious topics you know about by using the {{ Ctopics/aware}} template.
