Multiple references
I just looked at your edit to the Elmhurst, Illinois page and noticed that you used the same reference several times. That's all fine but there's a bit of an easier and cleaner way of doing that. If you name the reference, like you did, the first time that you use it then you can just call that name each successive time you want to use that same reference. So the first time you called it "History of Elmhurst". Then each time after that you can just use. No need for all the info, just that one tag. The difference is that final "/" in the tag. You can see more about referencing at Referencing for beginners. Dismas |(talk) 21:07, 13 August 2012 (UTC)
