Template:Uw-citevar
Hello. I noticed a recent edit of yours where you added or updated a citation. Thank you so much for your contributions, especially in the area of citations; this is very important for maintaining the verifiability of the encyclopedia.
One thing I noticed, though, was that this citation has a different citation style than the other ones in that article. As a general rule, editors should not attempt to change an article's established citation style without first seeking consensus for the change on the article talk page. For further details, please see § Variation in citation methods. If you need help matching your citation to the citation style of the article, feel free to reply below, ask me on my talk page, or visit the help desk. Thank you.

Please remember to substitute the template using {{subst:Uw-citevar}} rather than {{Uw-citevar}}.
To give greater detail to your message, you may add the article and some additional text to the end of the template. If such article or additional text includes a URL or anything which includes an equal sign ("="), it may break the parser's function unless you prefix the article or the text with a named template parameter. Use 1= if the article contains an equals sign and use 2= if the additional text contains an equals sign (such as a URL).
