Thanks for your contributions, but as you can see, the citations don't work. It turns out that you have been misusing the "ref" tag. The tag can only be used to repeatedly invoke an identical citation, and the first time it is used it must be defined with full citation text (the various templates like cite book can be used for this purpose). The "name" attribute doesn't serve to provide the author's name, and multiple "ref" tags can't be defined with the same name. See the guideline on citing sources. - Mike Rosoft (talk) 18:30, 18 September 2017 (UTC)

Thanks for setting me straight. It's been a while since I have put a new article together, so am a bit rusty with the citation formatting. Oddly enough it seemed to work fine in my sandbox, but when I ported it over as live article everything broke. I read the citation link you referenced and created a search-and-replace routine to make a fix, which seems to have worked. Thanks! Captmondo (talk)
