Hey, my name's Hector! And I've recently made my account today, I'm just confused about some aspects. How can I cite sources without getting termed or banned. I just want to figure out my way around here. I've been working on this article for quite some time, just getting busy, can anyone tell me how I can improve, etc. That's all I ask for and thank you!

- Finding reliable sources
- You can use Template:Find sources to give you several search links to start. For example, using it on Bianca Giovanna Sforza gives us: Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL
- Books: The Commons, Project Gutenberg, Archive.org, and Google Books will have full books that are in the public domain like A history of Milan under the Sforza[1][2], Italian Gardens of the Renaissance[3], Beatrice d'Este, Duchess of Milan, 1475-1497 [4] and Isabella of Milan [5]. Because of their age, these books are best used to cite hard facts, and should be avoided for anything where there is any kind of debate or controversy. Depending on where you live/work/learn, you may be able to get more recent books through your library and through inter-library loans. Online, Archive.org has Leonardo's Lost Princess; making an account to borrow books for an hour at a time from there is free and quite useful.
- News sources: Ideally, you'll want to find more recent sources. Searching across major news outlets yields plenty of hits mostly related to da Vinci: [6][7] There are several options if you run into paywalls on news sites. Scholarly journals can be harder to access though.
- Scholarly sources: Even for papers that you may not have access to, the abstract is often available freely online like here: https://www.jstor.org/stable/24595928 And you can also search those papers to see if anyone is hosting the whole thing online, which in this case is here: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/303400858_La_Bella_Principessa_-_Arguments_against_the_Attribution_to_Leonardo
- Writing citations in the Visual Editor
- Check out this page first: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:VisualEditor#Using_standard_cite_templates The Visual Editor lets your fill out citation templates like a form. These templates have a vast amount of parameters, but the only ones you'll really need are: title, date, last/first name, publisher, and page.
- I hope this helps. Feel free to ask anywhere things gets confusing, Rjjiii (talk) 13:42, 21 September 2024 (UTC)
