Welcome!

Hello, Zolfianyarvelling, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of your edits to the page Amy Winehouse have not conformed to Wikipedia's verifiability policy, and may be removed if they have not yet been. Wikipedia articles should refer only to facts and interpretations that have been stated in print or on reputable websites or other forms of media. Always remember to provide a reliable source for quotations and for any material that is likely to be challenged, or it may be removed. Wikipedia also has a related policy against including original research in articles. As well, all new biographies of living people must contain at least one reliable source.

If you are stuck and looking for help, please see the guide for citing sources or come to the new contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type {{helpme}} on your user page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers:

Sourcing articles

[edit]

Regarding the query about sourcing: Let's suppose that you want to source a statement. Here is how to do it in stages:

  • Find a reliable source in search engine results.
  • Click on the link given by the search engine to bring up the page.
  • Highlight and copy the address of the page to the clipboard. CTRL + A and CTRL + C in the address bar will do this.
  • Use this address in a citation. There is more detail about how to format citations in WP:CITE.

Hope this helps.--♦IanMacM♦ (talk to me) 10:27, 9 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
