Pousada de Saramagos

This peer review discussion has been closed.
I've listed this article for peer review because I need help to create a reliable article, such as this one. I also don't know how to make references.

Finetooth comments: This article is just getting underway, so my comments will be limited. It's good to see someone adding material about Portugal to the encyclopedia, and I wish you success. Here are a few suggestions for improvement.

• To create inline citations, you first need to add a "References" section with a template such as {{reflist}} embedded in it. I've done this for you.
• To cite a source, you need to place a pair of <ref> </ref> tags immediately after the end punctuation of a sentence that includes a claim that you want to attribute to a reliable source. Inside the pair of tags, for Internet sources you need to add the author, title, publisher, date of publication, url, and access date (date you looked at the web site) if all of these are known. You can enter these by hand, but I find it easier to use the "cite" family of templates. You will find the templates at WP:CIT, along with a brief explanation. You can copy and paste the "cite web" template material into an article (between a pair of ref tags) and fill in the blanks. I'd suggest experimenting with citations, ref tags, templates, and Reference sections in your sandbox to get a good feel for how these things work. To help get you started, I added one citation to the site you mention on the article's talk page. Since I don't read Portuguese, I wasn't sure if the publisher's name was available at the site. You can add it if you know what it is.

• It's often useful to imitate what others have done. Especially useful is to look at featured articles. You'll find lots of featured articles about cities and towns at WP:FA#Geography and places. You can look at things in edit mode to see how other editors have handled certain problems. You can also look at these articles to get ideas about what kinds of material you might include; e.g., climate, geology, economy, education, transportation, and infrastructure.

• WP:CITIES has useful suggestions about city and town articles.

• Each article needs to be added to a category or categories to make it easier to find the article. After a bit of poking around, I added the category "Parishes of Portugal" to this article. If you click on the category link at the bottom of the article, you will now see Pousada de Saramagos in the list of parishes.

I hope these few suggestions prove helpful. Finetooth (talk) 03:33, 25 August 2009 (UTC)
