Each outside source used to cite information added to the site must be added to the Articles and Resources section at the bottom of each page. If you were to add a link to a resource such as THOMAS, you would enter:
<nowiki>*[http://www.thomas.loc.gov THOMAS]</nowiki>
The star preceding the text will create a bullet point before the source. As is indicated in the example, follow the URL with the name of the resource (the text you wish to be visible). In this particular example, the text will read:
*[http://wwwthomas.loc.thomas.gov/ THOMAS]

The following is an example of how a citation should be entered:
<nowiki>Jonathan Weisman, [http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/05/17/AR2006051701779.html “Ethics "Ethics Panel Starts 3 Probes,”"] ''Washington Post,'' May 18, 2006.</nowiki>
'''Note''': The two apostrophes before and after Washington Post italicize the text. This can also be done in the editing windown by highlight the text you wish to italicize and clicking the italics logo at the top of the window. The same can be done to bold text. Entering this text /code will make the following citation appear:
Jonathan Weisman, [http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/05/17/AR2006051701779.html “Ethics Panel Starts 3 Probes,”] ''Washington Post,'' May 18, 2006.
