 * 1) When writing a date, please don't use ordinals (like "2nd January" or "26th February"). Just "2 January" will suffice. See MOS:DATEFORMAT.
 * 2) When using citation templates, please don't put incorrect information in the author firstname and lastname parameters like you did in this edit. When a company or organisation has published information without listing individual authors, just use the publisher parameter and leave things like author, first1, and last1 empty.
 * 3) Still on citations, you can re-use a citation multiple times in the same article by giving it a name, and then calling it by that name in other places. This works by changing the  tag at the beginning of the citation block to include the name, like this:  . Then, to reuse the citation elsewhere, all you need to do is insert   (with the slash at the end) wherever you want the citation to appear.
