What writing style to use

Wikipedia articles are composed and formatted according to the Manual of Style (MOS). MOS sets the house standard on Wikipedia for attributes like link formatting, capitalization, punctuation, and sections. MOS includes guidelines for biographies, citations, titles, dates and numbers, proper names, and many other stylistic details.

Some examples of the elements of style in the MOS are:

To place the MOS template at the right on your User page for easy reference, edit your User page and copy/paste: {{style}} (including the curly braces).

Please follow the MOS guidelines when you update an article.

To add this auto-updating template to your user page, use {{totd}}

A warm welcome also by me. --Marco Chemello (Unipd) (talk) 12:52, 13 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you very much @Marco Chemello (Unipd)! Omppuukko (talk) 13:37, 13 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Good afternoon, Outi! I tried to insert citation for my part and I am not sure about it. These references Gill, Redeker,  and Gasser are the scholars' personal websites. I had some concerns about the "title" of these webpages. When the citation is automatically created the title looks like this:
  1. "About – Urs Gasser". Medium. Retrieved 2022-04-16.
I wonder if this is fine Sashavaiss (talk) 09:10, 16 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Dear @Sashavaiss thanks for asking about this.
Can @Marco Chemello (Unipd) maybe help with the question?
In addition, I think that in this part there should be an additional reference to Redeker et al. 2018 academic article and not only the personal websites. Would it be possible for you @Sashavaiss with the help of @Marco Chemello (Unipd) to check this? Omppuukko (talk) 09:24, 26 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Omppuukko@Sashavaiss Personal pages of authors are not useful and should not be linked. In general, in the body text of the article you cannot link external websites, you can link only existing Wikipedia articles. External links can be used a) in the External links final section, and b) in the footnotes, if used as a reference. Good work. Marco Chemello (Unipd) (talk) 11:19, 26 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Excellent @Marco Chemello (Unipd), thanks very much for clarifying this.
@Sashavaiss would it be possible for you to 1) remove the personal websites 2) add the article ( [1]https://doi.org/10.1177/1748048518757121 ) as a footnote reference like Marco suggested? That article is actually the correct reference for the entire "Movement" section (and not the personal websites). Thanks very much for your work with this.

Dear @Omppuukko and @Marco Chemello (Unipd), those were the extrenal links I inserted from the original document created by Dublin students. I already removed those links and added the article you mentioned. Looking forward to the meeting today! Sashavaiss (talk) 10:46, 28 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Excellent work @Sashavaiss! Omppuukko (talk) 13:27, 28 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
