Sandbox/Formatting
Hi, I've done a quick fix. Have a look at it, I'll finish off and give some decent feedback here during my lunchtime (12:00 BST). Regards, Martin of Sheffield (talk) 09:34, 6 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Right, I've made a few changes! Please do not be alarmed, in part this reflects my experience and opinion, this is your sandbox so feel free to revert or delete anything you don't like.  Quite seriously, I will not be upset, sandboxes are for experimentation.  Before I get stuck into a description of the changes there are a couple of minor points to mention.  Please use four tildes to sign and do not simply copy a signature over.  It's not being picky, the tilde system puts hyperlinks in place, copying doesn't.  The other request is to leave categories commented out whilst in the sandbox.  If you don't they your sandbox will be added to the pages!


 * 1) I've moved the See Also and External Links below References, this seems to be common.
 * 2) I found the formatting for making notes, citations and bibliography as subsections of References on a page another editor built.  I liked it and have adopted it.  See History of Rochester, Kent for an alternative.
 * 3) Editors differ over specific cite templates.  Personally I use the common citation template, other editors prefer cite XXX.  I've left things as you did it.  If you do use the cite XXX templates you ought to include a line "| ref = harv" to force Harvard citations to be used.  template:citation does this automatically for you.
 * 4) All of the citations will extract a year from a date, but it can help in understanding the references if the year is explicit, so I've added them.
 * 5) Always supply an author= or last= line.  For people I prefer last= and first=, but for bodies corporate you can use the simple author.  This field is used to link the citations to the bibliography and so is important.
 * 6) I personally find it easier to find and maintain a seperate bibliography.  Other editors prefer in-line.  If you are using Harvard citations they need to be seperate as here.
 * 7) The sfn template does a lot for you.  As well as formatting the citation it collects identical citations together without the need to mess about with ref names.  Have a look at Richard Watts where all those Hinkley citations needed a different name and compare it to Felling mine disaster where the Hodgson citations were handled automatically.
 * 8) I've added a silly efn (Extended Foot Note) note to show the syntax.  Again, use of the efn template does a lot for you, including sending it to the right list.
 * 9) Think carefully about the Bloomberg citations.  The information has already moved off the page, generally rapidly updating pages such as these make poor citations for an encyclopedia.  Someone may be reading your work ten years from now and want to check the option details.
 * I'm concious that this is now longer than the article, but I hope it helps. I'll watch you user page, so ask any further questions here.  Once again, please feel free to do as you wish in your sandbox, including changing anything I did.  Regards, Martin of Sheffield (talk) 12:05, 6 August 2013 (UTC)
