I had started adding links to information found on WIkipedia on the various historical figures. Am I doing it properly, or should I be doing it differently (and adding a Ref list as well?) Thanks! Bluescifiworm 13:15, 7 February 2013 (EST)

What you did works, but there is a shorthand that makes "native links" - by that I mean the link turns blue without the little square link icons next to them. I fixed the first two to show you how to do it. --Jomegat 14:02, 7 February 2013 (EST)

Thanks very much. I couldn't figure out how to do that. It's very different from HTML, so it's a bit of a learning curve. -- Bluescifiworm 14:06, 7 February 2013 (EST)

Do I need to add a reference link list if it's information from Wikipedia? --Bluescifiworm 14:13, 7 February 2013 (EST)

No. But if you're cutting an pasting from WP, I need to know that so I can import the article. That's the easiest way to make the required attribution, because the import comes with the edit history. Unfortunately, you have to be an admin to get import privileges. Maybe I'll just import all the relevant articles and then we can cut-and-paste to our heart's content. --Jomegat 14:46, 7 February 2013 (EST)

Ah, Ok. I was paraphrasing or summarizing anyway, and was curious if the same thing applied like it would if you were paraphrasing for a paper. -- Bluescifiworm 14:58, 7 February 2013 (EST)
