Hi,

I'm on the Wikipedia Typo Team and saw your recent additions to this page because I was alerted to it by a missing space. I also noticed your reference formatting and since you call yourself a newbie, wanted to give you two tips.

First, the way you do your reference formatting for the second time a reference appears is absolutely correct, but you don't have to repeat the citation in between the "ref" tags. Just use the "ref name" followed by the "/" (slash). You don't have to spend time retyping or pasting the citation. (I deleted the repeats, take a look at the coding now.)

Second, you should learn how to "wikify" references. It's slightly faster, ensures standard formatting, and allows readers to click on links from a url, doi, or PMID number if you put any of those in. It's easy to do: 1. At the top of the editing box, click on "cite". 2. At the left of the second row that appears, hover over on "templates" and click "cite journal". It will open a box with all of the parameters you need. To insert more than one author, click on the green "+" at the upper right.

I hope this helps. And welcome to Wikipedia and have fun!

Ira
