- 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}}

You've had an account for a couple years, and your edits before you edited Hillary Clinton seem okay. Why did you decide to go off the rails with that article? (In a few hours, I may not be around for an extended period, any other admin, please act if you wish to) 331dot (talk) 08:43, 24 June 2024 (UTC)
@331dot: I thought it would be funny, so I made the Hillary Clinton page redirect to the Donald Trump page, but then I was almost immediately blocked. I was going to revert it back to the original anyway, because I had no intention of permanently vandalizing the page. I was just having fun. Now that I understand the severity of vandalizing pages, I promise to never vandalize any wikipedia page ever again. Pleeeeease unblock me 🥺 SapphireBrick (talk) 14:18, 24 June 2024 (UTC)
- If your promise to not vandalize again will be kept, then I'm willing to unblock you. But any return to vandalism would result in a permanent reblock. Acalamari 01:58, 25 June 2024 (UTC)
