Your citation need, etc tags

Please consider providing some references yourself. Going through articles with citation needed, "when", etc tags is easy but not nearly as helpful as adding sources. A good guide to how to do inline citations is at Wikipedia:Meetup/UMassAmherst/Intro to Wikipedia which has useful videos. Note that a paragraph might have only one source, usually at the end of it, so before adding any tags to the paragraph you should check the source first. Thanks.

I stand by my point. If I have a source, I will use it. If I don't and it is missing, I say it is missing. This is called "editing". If I put questions like why and when, it is because I assume it is easy for the person who has written the sentence/paragraph must have these informations at hand. If nobody has them, this is rather worrying.... If I do have the missing information, be sure I'll be glad to provide it. I am new to editing in English but have done more than 1'300 contributions on Wikipedia in French, including new articles. A paragrah may have only one source, but it's rarely a good paragraph ! So of course, all depends on context.

Thanks for the link to Intro to wikipedia.--Braveheidi (talk) 19:27, 11 December 2017 (UTC)
