HymnWiki:Sources

Create proper and useful sources for everything you post. The things you post may include such as the following:

• Composers
• Lyricists
• Hymn publication dates
• Birth and death dates of hymnists
• Posted sheet music (or list yourself as the contributer, if you made it)
• Posted lyrics

You should include the full title, publication date, and hymn or page number of all sources: e.g. Hymns of Faith and Fortitude, 1909, no. 37

Make the source a link to an online copy of it, if available (such can often be found through Google Books or Openlibrary.org).

To create a source with footnotes, use the following tags to create a footnote linking to your source: <ref>Whatever your source is</ref>. Then, under a heading for references or footnotes (create one if there is none: i.e. =References= on its own line), put the following tag and nothing else: <references/>
