trying to add reference
[edit]I only see only error message, which has renamed my ref#2 as ref#0. I read the help for beginners to no avail. If you can't fix this
Here's the reference to a journal article in the UCB library scanned by Internet Archive: https://archive.org/details/promamerinter00hepbrich/page/n3/mode/2up
"Prominent Americans interested in Japan and prominent Japanese in America" 90-91. Japan and America, January 1903.
I'm just trying to give credit to the donor of a prominent Boston landmark. Thanks, EJR ElizaJRich (talk) 17:08, 1 May 2025 (UTC)
- @ElizaJRich: Assuming that you mean Japanese Lantern (Boston), you need to put the reference after the text that it supports, and not in the References section. See Help:Referencing for beginners. By the way, this is not a good place to ask for help - it is the talk page for discussing improvements to the page Help:Cite errors. Better places would be Wikipedia:Teahouse or Wikipedia:Help desk. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 20:51, 1 May 2025 (UTC)
