Adding info to a wikipedia article and citing it?

By citing it, I mean adding a footnote

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Citation_te...

The link above is the main link. (you need it for everything)

To add footnotes, just insert a <ref> at the beginning and a </ref>at the end

Example.
<ref>{{cite book| last = | first = | authorlink = | coauthors = | title = | publisher = | date = | location = | pages = | url = | doi = | id = | isbn = }}</ref>

(fill in applicable info)

Then at the bottom add

==References==
{{reflist}}

It will automatically make those numbers (1,2,3) for each note.

More information on this topic can be found by searching Wikipedia for WP:CITE
Provided the article already contains a section for footnotes or references, use the <ref> and </ref> tags.

In the example sentence above, the footnote in a tag as used above would look like this:

1. and

select add citing in the drop down menu

Don't do it. Wait for Knol. A much better encyclopedia that Google is creating.
