Your help request

Hi! What can I help you with? Leave a message on my talk page and I'll do my best to help you out! — QuantumEleven 15:24, 10 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Teaching Machines and programmed Instruction

Hiya.

First off, let me say welcome to Wikipedia. I do hope you like the place and decide to stay.

I am leaving this message here because I sptted a page you created, titled Template:Kay Harry, Dodd Bernard, Sime Max, "Teaching Machines and programmed Instruction", Harmondsworth: Penguin 1968, Series: Pelican Books. I am uncertain as to what exactly you were trying to do, but this page looks malformed to me, and I get a feeling that this may be a result of your not grasping something. If you don't mind my asking, why did you create the page? Were you trying to cite something? TomStar81 (Talk • Some say ¥€$, I say NO) 03:42, 14 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Templates

There appears to be a concept that you are not understanding. Would you please explain to someone what you are trying to do when you keep creating these blank templates and maybe we can help you? --Smashville^talk 14:00, 14 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not create any more templates until we figure out what it is you are trying to accomplish. The items you are creating are not templates and are malformed. --Smashville^talk 15:19, 14 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, yes I am not meaning to create them, simply trying to create a citation! Unfortunately this is all new to me. Any help is much appreciated----

Here is a handy dandy tool. Just plug in your info and it will create your reference to copy and paste into the article. Just remember to enclose your referencese with <ref></ref>. --Smashville^talk 15:56, 14 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

How to use {{helpme}}

You accidentally edited the helpme page rather than putting your request here. To use {{helpme}} write the word {{helpme}} (including the braces) onto your talkpage, followed by your request :-). For example:

{{helpme}}
Please can you tell me how to add this article to relevant categories, Thank you.

(my reply) To add categories, edit the page where you want to add the category and add the text [[category:insert category name here]] at the bottom.

I have copied your second request below, hopefully someone else will answer for you :-) --Tony Wills (talk) 21:19, 14 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
{{helpme}} I am new to creating articles, can you advise me how to create the more conventional template for biographies, is this what you refer to as Wikified? Thank you----

To "wikify" is to add wikilinks to an article. Basically to point readers in the right direction if they want to read more about a technical term, word, phrase, etc. Sometimes wikilinks are added if the term is related to the topic of the article. So in a biography you might add wikilinks to relatives' names if they have Wikipedia articles, or perhaps organizations that the person was involved with. You just put a brackets "[[]]" around words to wikilink them the easiest way. See wikilink for more info. Killiondude (talk) 21:39, 14 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
