Welcome!
Hello, Elizabeth Combs, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Elysia and I work with Wiki Education; I help support students who are editing as part of a class assignment.

I hope you enjoy editing here. If you haven't already done so, please check out the student training library, which introduces you to editing and Wikipedia's core principles. You may also want to check out the Teahouse, a community of Wikipedia editors dedicated to helping new users. Below are some resources to help you get started editing. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me on my talk page. Elysia (Wiki Ed) (talk) 21:49, 31 January 2020 (UTC)

Responding to help request
Hi, I saw your question on my talk page. It looks like everything is correctly formatted. The reference list automatically is formatted in the order that materials are cited in the text. The first reference to be cited appears first, and the second that's cited appears second, and so on. If the page is edited in such a way that new references are added or the old ones have their order changed, the reference section will dynamically reorder itself to match the order of the cited works.

The little letters that appear next to each ref mark (and link) to each time the reference has been cited in the work. This lets Wikipedians and readers gauge which sources were most important in writing the text. Try clicking on one of the little letters--it will take you to a place where that work has been cited in the article. It's just another way to keep the information organized.

So, in conclusion, you don't need to fix anything because nothing is broken! Best, Elysia (Wiki Ed) (talk) 21:30, 3 April 2020 (UTC)
