Talk: Mfnotes

Welcome, Mfnotes!

Hello, Mfnotes, and welcome to Wookieepedia! We hope you like the place and choose to join us in building the best Star Wars encyclopedia there is. Here are some things you should know: Wookieepedia is the Star Wars encyclopedia that anyone can edit, but we are not a general Star Wars forum nor an all-inclusive trivia site. In-universe articles are written in past tense and from a neutral point of view. Our Manual of Style and Layout Guide form the basis for writing on Wookieepedia. All additions to Wookieepedia must be sourced and attributed to a reliable, official source. Fan fiction is welcome on the Star Wars Fanon Wiki. As a registered Wookieepedia user, you are entitled to a user page and a unique signature. Eventually you will also gain the right to vote on community matters. Remember to be nice to your fellow Wookieepedians. Avoid making personal attacks and engaging in edit wars. Using multiple accounts is not allowed. Talk pages and forums are part of the public record and comments on them, including your own user talk page, should be left intact. Remember to sign your comments by typing four tildes, like this: ~~~~ New to wikis? Don't worry, we were all new once. Our help pages will get you started, and the Jundland Wastes sandbox can be used for test edits. Don't be afraid to make mistakes—be bold! I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wookieepedian! If you have any questions, you can consult our FAQ, ask a question in the Senate Hall forum, visit our official IRC channel, or leave me a message on my talk page. May the Force be with you! —1358 (Talk) 17:38, April 5, 2020 (UTC)

Sourcing

Hi and welcome to Wookieepedia. I've reinstated your additions to R2-D2. In general, we are very strict about sourcing information, as attribution is one of the pillars of a reliable encyclopedia. All paragraphs must have a reference and I've tagged all your paragraphs with {{Fact}} until a reference is added. I've also helped you get started with referencing. However, I also have to ask: how reliable is 3DSF.info? We generally prefer primary sources rather than secondary ones (unless they are officially licensed, of course). Please let me know if you need any help, either here or on my talk page. Cheers, 1358 ^(Talk) 17:43, April 5, 2020 (UTC)

• Good job on starting to reference! I've switched your reference to the book to a link that leads to the Wookieepedia article on the book instead—those are preferred if available. Cheers, 1358 ^(Talk) 17:52, April 5, 2020 (UTC)
• Okay - it's taken a number of edit conflicts, but I've added my external refs. Hope those work for you. 3DSF.info is a pretty meticulously researched page that distinguishes between primary sources and conjecture throughout - have a look! :) —Unsigned comment by Mfnotes (talk • contribs)

Signature

Hello, and welcome Mfnotes, happy to see you've decided to create an account so you could add proper references to R2-D2. I just wanted to inform you that you must sign all messages on talk pages (including yours, here), by simply adding ~~~~ at the end of your messages, the wiki will then translate it your signature and a timepost, is quite simple ^^. --NanoLuuke^{Cloning facility} 20:03, April 5, 2020 (UTC)
