Generally it is preferred to have inline citations rather than general references, to allow readers to easily see which sources support which facts. These are formatted as: Fact. If the same citation is being used to support multiple facts, you can repeat it using named references like so: Fact 1. Fact 2. I'd also suggest adding some inline links to other Wikipedia articles. For example: One of the last things President Reagan did before leaving for his historic summit with Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev was to say good-bye to her on her last day at the White House.
