Good start

This is a good start for an elementary school article. I've added a few little things to the article. There is more to do but I thought you might learn more by doing them yourself. See below about how to add inline references or footnotes. You should add "wikilinks" to other Wikipedia articles. You do this by putting square brackets around a word or phrase that is the name of some other article. I added two just to show you how it is done. There are many more words you could link. At the very bottom of the article you should add some categories. Look at other elementary school articles, especially ones in Ontario, to see how they did it. Have fun and continue to learn more about and contribute to Wikipedia. Sbowers3 (talk) 00:58, 3 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Footnotes

Making a footnote seems complicated and is not well documented but is easy once you know how to do it. Here's something you can copy and paste to make it easy:

<ref>{{cite web 
  | author = 
  | title = 
  | publisher = 
  | url = 
  | date = 
  | accessdate =  }}</ref>

Copy from before the first <ref> to after the last </ref>, then paste where you want a footnote. Then fill in the fields. Some references won't have a named author, just leave it blank or delete that line. For title, just copy and paste from the referenced web page. Publisher is the name of the company where you find your reference. Copy and paste the url for the specific web page you use as the reference. I usually copy the date from the reference in whatever format it appears. Some people might wikify the date. The accessdate should be in the format yyyy-mm-dd.

At the end of your Wikipedia article there will usually already be a section named References (or Notes). It will usually have a single line containing {{reflist}}. If those aren't there then add them.

Here's an example. You can edit this page to see the details.
