Hi,
I need to add few links for my future reference but unfortunately cannot.May I know why? Is there any prob?

You'd need to tell us exactly what you're trying to do and how. Obviously you can, generally speaking, add links to Zotero items, but from what you write it's neither clear where you're trying to add links, nor to what those links are (local files, URLs, something else?), nor how you're trying to add them.

I want to add URL in my Library so that I can use those later. I was trying to click (paper clip) symbol on the top bar where 'Attach link to URL' is there. These link from Internet, Wiki, Youtube etc...

Typically, you'd want to navigate to those pages and then click on the Add to Zotero icon to get both metadata and link.

What you can't do is to add a link by itself. It needs to be attached to a Zotero icon.

Hi,
One more problem. I am using Harvard West London Style referencing. I have a weblink ( http://www.columbia.edu/cu/psychology/courses/1010/mangels/neuro/transmission/transmission.html and another one : https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Fight-or-flight_response&oldid=733901515) and I want to use in my text but it is coming (Anon, n.d.) which is not accepted by my Tutor. I have contacted him regarding this:

"I have used two online resources and those two are (Anon:n.d). However, when I am using Zotero to link to my Bibliography it is showing [Online]. Is this good? I have tried, tried and tried to find Author but did not get it. Both are authentic web-link."

In reply he is saying--"Zotero may not do this so you may have to add manually – I don’t know Zotero so I can’t really advise"

May I request you to help me. I have given you the links. Any helps will be much appreciated.

Sorry, I don't think we can help much here. The style guide
http://www.uwl.ac.uk/library/finding-and-using-information/referencing/uwl-harvard-guide-archived
says to use Anon where no author can be identified, unless it's published by a clearly identifiable group, so Zotero does this correctly.

That said, it took me 15secs to identify the author of the first source as Pascal Saremsky (from here at the bottom: http://www.columbia.edu/cu/psychology/courses/1010/mangels/ ) and you almost certainly shouldn't be citing a Wikipedia entry for a university-level psych paper.
