Recently you added the bolded part into the [[Tancred II]], but you associated it with the 2a and the 2b sources which are two pages in Warhammer: Nagash. Does those two pages say what you added? That he was born that family and he inherited the regular way? If yes, then it's okay, if not then you need to find a source which can be interpreted that way and correct it.

:Another example is [[Fastric Ghoulslayer]] article, it has two sources but it isn't sourced properly. You can't just dump sources at the bottom of the page and expect it to work, it's one of the many reason why lexicanum fantasy is so low quality. Besides that it is missing page number and/or chapter number of the sources, they need to be a little more specific than that. You also need to do for images otherwise both them and the articles run the risk of being deleted. Then you need to add the Fn Endn system to connect the text to the sources themselves, add a <nowiki>{{Endn|1}}</nowiki> to the source section and connect it to the text of the article with the <nowiki>{{Fn|1}}</nowiki>, changing the numbers to connect them. [[Stormhost]] is an good example of how it should be done.

Thanks for letting me know. Even though i joined a year ago im quite new to editing and creating articles. I mainly just wanted to jumpstart articles that for some reason, had not been created yet. All info in my articles comes from either army books, novels and background info. I have many army books and novels saved  on my iphone (which is my main source of editing). I'll put in sources from now on :)

No problem. Jumpstarting article is something I've also been doing to Age of Sigmar article, and then later I usually try to fill them out as I find more information. Kinda hard since i'm the only guy adding age of sigmar stuff and I don't have all the sources. The most important thing that you need to do when creating new articles, specially when you'e tying to jumpstart them, is adding categories. Even if you have to make new categories to fit them.

Sourcing

Do you know how to use the Fn/Endn system in this wiki? Because it doesn't look like you're sourcing the articles properly. Here are two examples:

"Born into the noble family of Quenelles, Tancred would inherit the dukedom after his father passed away. Tancred II, like his father Tancred I,[2a][2b]"

Recently you added the bolded part into the Tancred II, but you associated it with the 2a and the 2b sources which are two pages in Warhammer: Nagash. Does those two pages say what you added? That he was born that family and he inherited the regular way? If yes, then it's okay, if not then you need to find a source which can be interpreted that way and correct it.

Another example is Fastric Ghoulslayer article, it has two sources but it isn't sourced properly. You can't just dump sources at the bottom of the page and expect it to work, it's one of the many reason why lexicanum fantasy is so low quality. Besides that it is missing page number and/or chapter number of the sources, they need to be a little more specific than that. You also need to do for images otherwise both them and the articles run the risk of being deleted. Then you need to add the Fn Endn system to connect the text to the sources themselves, add a {{Endn|1}} to the source section and connect it to the text of the article with the {{Fn|1}}, changing the numbers to connect them. Stormhost is an good example of how it should be done.

If you have any question you can ask me.--Ashendant (talk) 07:34, 3 January 2016 (MST)

No problem. Jumpstarting article is something I've also been doing to Age of Sigmar article, and then later I usually try to fill them out as I find more information. Kinda hard since i'm the only guy adding age of sigmar stuff and I don't have all the sources. The most important thing that you need to do when creating new articles, specially when you'e tying to jumpstart them, is adding categories. Even if you have to make new categories to fit them.
Another important thing. You should add a signature when making texts in in talk or dicussions pages. It's supposed to be the little blue pencil between the italic and link buttons, but if you can't get that to work you can add --~~~~ at the end of your text/speech and it should add a signature.

A few more tips:
  • When uploading images like this don't upload the date on the name of the file. You also need to add category, description and source to it.
  • The first thing you should do when creating a new article or uploading a image is adding a category. Otherwise the article and image can quickly get lost.
