Fortunately, there is a tool called "RefToolbar" built into the Wikipedia edit window, which makes it much easier. To activate it, simply click on "Cite" at the top of the edit window. Position the edit window cursor after the fact or sentence you wish to reference, and then select one of the templates from the dropdown menu. There are different templates suitable for different types of sources:</p> <ul> <li>{{<a href="/web/20150416040656/http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Cite_web" title="Template:Cite web">cite web</a>}} for references to general websites</li> <li>{{<a href="/web/20150416040656/http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Cite_news" title="Template:Cite news">cite news</a>}} for newspapers and news websites</li> <li>{{<a href="/web/20150416040656/http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Cite_book" title="Template:Cite book">cite book</a>}} for references to books</li> <li>{{<a href="/web/20150416040656/http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Cite_journal" title="Template:Cite journal">cite journal</a>}} for magazines, academic journals and papers</li> </ul> <p>This will pop-up a window, where you fill in as much information as possible about the source, and give a unique name for it in the "Name" field. Then click the "Insert" button and it will add the required wikitext in the edit window.</p> <p>Often you will want to use the same source more than once in an article to cite multiple facts. In this case, you can click the clipboard labelled "Named references" in the toolbar, and select a previously added source to re-use.</p> <p>Don't forget to add a "References" section if there isn't one already (see the <a href="/web/20150416040656/http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Introduction_to_referencing/2" title="Help:Introduction to referencing/2">previous page</a> if you've forgotten how).</p> <p><br style="clear:both;"/></p> <div style="float: right;" class="help-intro-next"><a href="/web/20150416040656/http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Introduction_to_referencing/4" title="Help:Introduction to referencing/4"><span class="mw-ui-button mw-ui-primary">Next >></span></a></div> </td> </tr> </table> </div>    <noscript><img src="//web.archive.org/web/20150416040656im_/http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:CentralAutoLogin/start?type=1x1" alt="" title="" width="1" height="1" style="border: none; position: absolute;"/></noscript></div> <div class="printfooter"> Retrieved from "<a dir="ltr" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20150416040656/http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Help:Introduction_to_referencing/3&oldid=640072329">http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Help:Introduction_to_referencing/3&oldid=640072329</a>" </div> <div id="catlinks" class="catlinks"><div id="mw-normal-catlinks" class="mw-normal-catlinks"><a href="/web/20150416040656/http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Category" title="Help:Category">Categories</a>: <ul><li><a href="/web/20150416040656/http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Wikipedia_quick_introductions" title="Category:Wikipedia quick introductions">Wikipedia quick introductions</a></li></ul></div><div id="mw-hidden-catlinks" class="mw-hidden-catlinks mw-hidden-cats-hidden">Hidden categories: <ul><li><a href="/web/20150416040656/http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Semi-protected_project_pages" title="Category:Semi-protected project pages">Semi-protected project pages</a></li></ul></div></div> <div class="visualClear"></div> </div> </div> <div id="mw-navigation"> <h2>Navigation menu</h2> <div id="mw-head"> <div id="p-personal" role="navigation" class="" aria-labelledby="p-personal-label"> <h3 id="p-personal-label">Personal tools</h3> <ul> <li id="pt-createaccount"><a href="/web/20150416040656/http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:UserLogin&returnto=Help%3AIntroduction+to+referencing%2F3&type=signup" title="You are encouraged to create an account and log in; however, it is not mandatory">Create account</a></li><li id="pt-login"><a href="/web/20150416040656/http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:UserLogin&returnto=Help%3AIntroduction+to+referencing%2F3" title="You're encouraged to log in; however, it's not mandatory.
