1. Do a search on Google or your preferred search engine for the subject of the Misplaced Pages article that you want to create a citation for.
2. Find a website that supports the claim you are trying to find a citation for.
3. 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.
4. Click the 'Get reference wiki text' button.
5. 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).
6. In the Misplaced Pages article, after the claim you found a citation for, paste (Ctrl+V or Apple+V) the text you copied.
7. 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}}

Good venues to get help (and bad ones...)

Hi, I notice you ended up at the administrators' noticeboard for incidents (ANI) over some difficulties with someone undoing your edits. ANI is a very ferocious, conflict-orientated place, where little mercy or understanding is likely to be shown to anyone. If you've got any questions, problems or queries, I strongly recommend you try the Misplaced Pages:Teahouse first. It's much more friendly. Many admins and experienced editors read it, and will provide useful, friendly and helpful advice. And usually the replies are pretty quick too. Good luck, and happy editing!

Yeah I realized that pretty quickly after I started being roasted lol. This website can be difficult to navigate though I had no idea about he teahouse thing, thanks for letting me know about it! Josepherino (talk) 08:40, 20 June 2022 (UTC)

Adityawarman

This is Indonesia, in Sumatra not India... You don't have to translate all papers in Indic letters... King Aditiawarman has a career in Sumatra and Sumatra has its own uniqueness.. You are not Sumatran so please respect the uniqueness of the island of Sumatra.. 🙏 Elnino18 (talk) 06:42, 22 July 2022 (UTC)

Sanskrit was the liturgical language of Adityawarman's kingdom. His name is from Sanskrit, and the only reason we know about him is sanskrit inscriptions! Amoghapasa inscriptionPadang Roco Inscription Josepherino (talk) 18:04, 22 July 2022 (UTC)

Malaysian Dayak

Hi! I noticed you have interest and knowledges in Dayak-related articles. Mind if I ask for assistance on Dayak in politics on Malaysian side, since it is currently very lacking and I dont know much about political intrigue of Malaysian side of Borneo. Thank you~ Nyanardsan (talk) 03:01, 25 July 2022 (UTC)

Using sources appropriately

Hi! A few times, I've encountered your edits on articles on my watchlist that have demonstrated departures from the original sources or have been written in a manner that causes POV issues. For example, on Catholic Church in Canada, phrasing such as "spotty" is inappropriate outside of quotation or close paraphrasing of opinion. Your contributions have largely been sourced and constructive, but just taking a little more time to review how to appropriately deploy sources will help propel you as a great editor. Thank you! ~ Pbritti (talk) 21:58, 29 July 2022 (UTC)

I see. I'll remove that wording. If you see anything else fishy let me know ill go through them and edit it. Josepherino (talk) 22:02, 29 July 2022 (UTC)

I handled that one. Hardly egregious and overall you made a very important contribution to the article. Thank you! ~ Pbritti (talk) 22:08, 29 July 2022 (UTC)

Oh, thanks for letting me know! I had no idea, I'll make sure to do that in the future. Josepherino (talk) 21:40, 31 July 2022 (UTC)

Gayo people

Hei dude... Stop making news out of hate and racism.. Elnino18 (talk) 12:33, 2 August 2022 (UTC)

You're reverting this user's edits simply because you don't like them and that's inappropriate. Hey man im josh (talk) 12:41, 2 August 2022 (UTC)

If you would like to dispute any of my edits I am more than willing to talk about them leave a link to the edit and your explanation here or in the articles talk page, please to do not go through my edits and revert them, its against wikipedia decorum and very unhelpful.
