PS: Use the named references link next to templates to use the same reference in more than one place. Saves you time and energy, saves space on the article.

Subject: [Wikimedia-in-en] COTM - Citations and Tags
I have recently seen a couple of editors adding refs by just adding links. Im sure most here are aware for those who are not - PFA a snapshot of the top of the page when your editing. Click on Cite and then choose the correct template from the dropdown. If you dont have certain info (such as the newspaper does not state the Correspondent name or the book is old and does not have an ISBN number) leave that part blank.
Also, I thought it may be a good idea at the beginning of the month, to tag the article where needed (such as citation needed tags etc.) so as to make it easier for collaboration - everyone knows the amount of cleanup required, which can be measured by the tags with the aim of getting rid of all the tags by month end.
