- 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:
==References== {{Reflist}}
Edit warring at several articles about Freemasonry
[edit]Please stop. When another editor reverts an edit you make, go to the article’s talk page and DISCUSS the matter. Edit warring (repeatedly returning the article to your preferred version) can eventually get you blocked (or even outright banned) from editing Wikipedia. Blueboar (talk) 11:39, 31 August 2024 (UTC)
- Thank you for this information. I will discuss it first next time. Wikiprediger (talk) 11:42, 31 August 2024 (UTC)

[edit] Hello, I'm SarekOfVulcan. I noticed that you made a comment on the page Talk:Freemasonry that didn't seem very civil, so it may have been removed. Wikipedia is built on collaboration, so it's one of our core principles to interact with one another in a polite and respectful manner. If you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Claiming that an editor is working at the behest of other "masters" is not generally considered a good idea.

- Hello, I only answered the humor shown to me with humor. I think there is no need to remove it. But if you need to, i can post similar ironic things like that anytime elsewhere in the internet. It's in the wayback machine, too - and i have a screenshot. Maybe i present it then somewhere so that people can discuss and judge it themselves.Is it really that big problem to you? I can't understand. Wikiprediger (talk) 16:12, 3 September 2024 (UTC)
Open Parliamentary License
[edit]Per https://www.parliament.uk/site-information/copyright/, this is not considered a free license for our purposes. (See also Template:Non-free Parliamentary copyright.) Actually, I'm not sure now. Reading more closely, it may be suitable. I'll do some more research. That said, though....
In addition, copying even free content in the manner that you did at Operation Countryman is frowned on. See Wikipedia:Plagiarism for guidelines on how to use other people's content properly. --SarekOfVulcan (talk) 15:57, 4 September 2024 (UTC)
- Further research turns up Commons:Commons:Copyright_rules_by_territory/United_Kingdom#Parliamentary_copyright. Seems ok. --SarekOfVulcan (talk) 16:06, 4 September 2024 (UTC)
- I'll write a better short summary soon, my english isn't very good. Wikiprediger (talk) 17:39, 4 September 2024 (UTC)
ANI discussion
[edit]I think you're including way too much of that speech, and doing it in an inappropriate manner, so I've started a discussion at WP:ANI#Repeated coatracking with close paraphrasing. -SarekOfVulcan (talk) 18:25, 6 September 2024 (UTC)
- I think you exclude too much of that speach. you were contra-productive multiple times - then just improving the article with this new informations. i think these are very important informations. maybe you are biased and you have no neutral pov. Wikiprediger (talk) 19:28, 6 September 2024 (UTC)
