- Go to the reference generator, click on the 'An arbitrary website' bubble, and fill out the as many fields as you can. Then click 'Get reference wiki text'.
- Highlight, and then copy (Ctrl+C or Apple+C), the resulting text.
- In the article, after the claim you made in step 2, paste (Ctrl+V or Apple+V) the text you copied in step 5.
- If the article does not have a References, Footnotes, Notes, or Bibliography section, then add this below the See Also section and above the External Links section:

[edit] Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, talk pages are meant to be a record of a discussion; deleting or editing legitimate comments, as you did at Talk:Norm Chow, is considered bad practice, even if you meant well. Even making spelling and grammatical corrections in others' comments is generally frowned upon, as it tends to irritate the users whose comments you are correcting. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. Discussions are typically not deleted. If an issue is resolved, you can mark it using a template like {{resolved}} —Bagumba (talk) 09:34, 22 December 2011 (UTC)
Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. Regarding your edits to Human Terrain System, it is recommended that you use the preview button before you save; this helps you find any errors you have made, reduces edit conflicts, and prevents clogging up recent changes and the page history. Thank you. Specifically, this edit [1] removed the "Stantonbook" citation data which created a big red line down in the footnotes. It's fixed now, but please be sure to look at the entire article with the preview button, or at the very least after you complete your edits. Thanks. --S.
