Try harder[edit]
Come on you can do better than that! Go read the tutorial links that I sent you. Format like this:
- add author if available, URL, title, original source, date, publication, hosting site if applicable, etc.
Try not to use videos as your primary source, use TEXT, and then you can use videos as a backup. Don't just use a website, like http://www.distinctlyoklahoma.com/, use the actual page with the interview, image, etc, what-ever. The Ext Lnks should be DIRECTLY related to the article, like Oklahoma=Oklahoma.gov, or Norman=CityofNorman.gov Official site. Not just any ole' links, those should be made REFs. Now, slow down and go back and 1) read those links I put here earlier, and 2) look at some Featured Articles and look at the REF and EXT LNKS in those.
