User talk:Ranseens
Welcome!
Hello, Ranseens, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created, such as "Dairy Program for Oregon", may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines, and may soon be deleted.
There's a page about creating articles you may want to read called Your first article. If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type {{helpme}} on this page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers:
- Starting an article
- Your first article
- Biographies of living persons
- How to write a great article
- The five pillars of Wikipedia
- Help pages
- Tutorial
I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you have any questions, check out Wikipedia:Questions or ask me on my talk page. Again, welcome! reddogsix (talk) 17:21, 14 November 2011 (UTC)
If someone wants to donate text to Wikipedia; see: Wikipedia:Donating_copyrighted_materials. If you want a formal process to request licensing; see Wikipedia:Requesting_copyright_permission.
In normal articles it is better to write your own text and reference the source... There is a "Cite" toolbar at the top of the edit window which allows you to automatically generate the required wiki code.
You click one of the templates, e.g. "book", and fill in the details.
More information can be found in Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners or the citations tutorial (the below video will play best in Firefox or Chrome):
Hope this helps,

Then perhaps WP:referencing for beginners might help you.
