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

Earliest Emoji
[edit]Thanks for adding my discoveries of the new earliest emoji, as reported by Emojipedia, to the page. I made a minor edit to clarify that Emojipedia did not uncover any of the three sets mentioned. Also, I've made yet another emoji discovery, this time from 1985. I'm waiting to receive some physical items and then we can do the dance all over again. Cheers! —Flicky1984 (talk) 04:38, 23 May 2024 (UTC)
- No problem! Congrats on your new findings!
- I do think that before the 1985 ones are added we should wait for Emojipedia to cover it, as since emoji definitions are fuzzy a secondary source would probably be needed to clear things up and make it more official.
- Have a nice day! ☺️ ✨ΩmegaMantis✨blather 18:33, 23 May 2024 (UTC)
- Of course! There's no need to rush it as almost 40 years have passed already. I'll try to put together a list of published references: books, magazines, manuals, brochures, to cover all of these discoveries. That seems more thorough than a reblog of my blog. —Flicky1984 (talk) 00:05, 24 May 2024 (UTC)

Introduction to contentious topics
[edit]
You have recently edited a page related to the Arab–Israeli conflict, a topic designated as contentious. This is a brief introduction to contentious topics and does not imply that there are any issues with your editing.
A special set of rules applies to certain topic areas, which are referred to as contentious topics. These are specially designated topics that tend to attract more persistent disruptive editing than the rest of the project and have been designated as contentious topics by the Arbitration Committee. When editing a contentious topic, Wikipedia’s norms and policies are more strictly enforced, and Wikipedia administrators have an expanded level of powers and discretion in order to reduce disruption to the project.
Within contentious topics, editors should edit carefully and constructively, refrain from disrupting the encyclopedia, and:
- adhere to the purposes of Wikipedia;
- comply with all applicable policies and guidelines;
- follow editorial and behavioural best practices;
- comply with any page restrictions in force within the area of conflict; and
- refrain from gaming the system.
Additionally, you must be logged in, have 500 edits, and have an account age of 30 days, and you are not allowed to make more than 1 revert within 24 hours on any page within this topic.
Editors are advised to err on the side of caution if unsure whether making a particular edit is consistent with these expectations. If you have any questions about contentious topics procedures, you may ask them at the arbitration clerks' noticeboard or you may learn more about this contentious topic here. You may also choose to note which contentious topics you know about by using the {{Ctopics/aware}} template.
