Hi, thanks. I've managed to add my text, but it comes below the references of the text above and I would prefer to have it as a separate section, with an appropriate heading. It has been given a template heading at the moment.

:Hi, you've added a lot of general content about famine roads in general, which might fit in better in the main page about the [[Great Famine (Ireland)#Government response|famine]]. You might also need to change some of the language to a more [[Wikipedia:Neutral point of view|neutral]] form, less descriptive language, just conveying the facts. Hope that helps.

Dear Smirybec, as a part of #editwikilit I am editing the page James Clarence Mangan. I am having trouble inputting new citations. I can add a new source to the body of the page, but the reference section will not update the footnotes to reflect the new source. I also cannot get the Reference sections editor to give me any options to update the footnotes manually. I'd be very grateful for any help or advice [[User:Coddjarm|Coddjarm]] ([[User talk:Coddjarm|talk]]) 09:49, 8 February 2017 (UTC) |

Editing via a wikiproject
Dear Smirkybec, as part of #EditWikiLit I want to edit the page R574(Ireland)to add background on famine roads and create a link to the famine page. It seems to be part of a project and I can't find a way to make a request to edit. I don't seem to be able to edit it anyway. I'd be very grateful if you could help. Thanks, yearofcork — Preceding unsigned comment added by Yearofcork (talk • contribs) 09:29, 8 February 2017 (UTC)
- Hey @Yearofcork:, I'm not sure what you mean by requesting to edit R574 road (Ireland). The page isn't protected in any way - all you need to do is press the edit button if you are logged in! You don't need to make a formal request on a Project to go ahead and make non-controversial changes. Smirkybec (talk) 09:36, 8 February 2017 (UTC)

- Hey @Coddjarm:, I have found that on some browsers the drop down menu for citations will not work. It might be an idea to try a different browser, or give Visual Editor a try as you might find that easier. If is not appearing in the reference, you might be missing some code when you are putting them in manually. Smirkybec (talk) 09:56, 8 February 2017 (UTC)
