Hi E.J.! Please look at the references now on [[Augmented reality (AR)]] and [[Victoria Chang]]. You'll see that I added information to them, including the title of the article, the author and date (if available), and last access date. This is a more typical way of doing references on a wiki, although the abbreviated ones you gave are usable. I think it's important to include the author's name (wouldn't you want that, if it were you?), and including title is useful if for some reason in the future, the link stops working. Sometimes the title can be used to find the same article at a different location and then fix the link.

:Thank you Pat! I believe I've fixed all of the sources I've added to include titles, authors and publication dates when I could find them. If I missed any, please let me know and I'll correct them!

We can use any image already in [https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Images Wikimedia Commons], a very helpful resource, in case it's useful to you.

:Hi Pat! I've been using Wikimedia Commons when I can find usable images, and I had checked it to see if there were any images I could use for the Victoria Chang article, but there were none. It seemed like the image you added to the page was of a different person, so I removed it (this response is a couple of days late! Sorry!). Thank you for looking out for me!

Welcome to Citizendium
E.J., welcome to the wiki! Please leave a note on my Talk page if you have any questions. Pat Palmer (talk) 15:51, 29 September 2023 (CDT)
Definitions
E.J., I added the Wii and Nintendo DS to Nintendo/Related Articles. If you could add a definition to Wii and Nintendo DS, that would make them show up better on the Related Article tab for Nintendo. The Definition can be located at the top of the of the Discussion tab; it is a separate page, and its only contents are a brief phrase (not a complete sentence) providing a quick definition. Look at Nintendo/Related Articles for examples of definitions; look at that page's code to see that the "r" template is being used to list related articles and their definitions.

Template:Augmented reality (AR)/Metadata
Hello, EJ. Looks like you had a spot of bother with this template. I think I've sorted it and also provided a definition of sorts. Could you have a look and see if it's okay now?
If you need any help with metadata, please let me know. All the best. John (talk) 17:16, 15 January 2024 (CST)
- Yes, that looks much better, thank you so much John, I appreciate it! E. J. Diamond (talk) 17:18, 15 January 2024 (CST)
A tip on references
Hi E.J.! Please look at the references now on Augmented reality (AR) and Victoria Chang. You'll see that I added information to them, including the title of the article, the author and date (if available), and last access date. This is a more typical way of doing references on a wiki, although the abbreviated ones you gave are usable. I think it's important to include the author's name (wouldn't you want that, if it were you?), and including title is useful if for some reason in the future, the link stops working. Sometimes the title can be used to find the same article at a different location and then fix the link. Pat Palmer (talk) 14:55, 19 January 2024 (CST)
- Thank you Pat! I believe I've fixed all of the sources I've added to include titles, authors and publication dates when I could find them. If I missed any, please let me know and I'll correct them! E. J. Diamond (talk) 09:38, 25 January 2024 (CST)
How to find pre-existing public-domain images
We can use any image already in Wikimedia Commons, a very helpful resource, in case it's useful to you. See how I used one of their images on the Victoria Chang article. Pat Palmer (talk) 14:58, 19 January 2024 (CST)
