Reference section help
I've been attempting to edit the article on the blue-masked leafbird, and it had a list of references at the bottom beforehand that was not cited inline. I used it to add some content to the article, and cited it inline; however, this created a duplicate in the references section, and the system will not allow me to remove the duplicate (stating that it is "generated from reflist"). How do I remove the duplicate? (The text of the reference is also different, though they are the same source; for the latter, I let the system auto-generate it) BeakAndFeathers (talk) 14:19, 11 May 2021 (UTC) Update: I also had a similar issue at the article for the canary flyrobin, though in this case the citation was actually used in the article, but only in the box on the right, and the system would not show it under re-use.

 * To clarify, the references should be going to the same place? There should only be one reference? - Rich T&#124;C&#124;E-Mail 14:34, 11 May 2021 (UTC)

In the reference section at the bottom of the article, it lists the same reference twice (references 1 and 2 in both articles). I would remove it, but in both cases it doesn't allow me to edit the section without removing it entirely (which is obviously unhelpful). BeakAndFeathers (talk) 14:36, 11 May 2021 (UTC)
