Referencing
A pleasure to help out at Athlete's foot - far more important is that you are able to locate references :-) But since you asked, some pointers for referencing (the length of discussions on formats and markups has previously been huge, so lets keep this simple):

The main current footnoting system is described at WP:Footnotes and uses tags. Placed within the tags are the citation details - which may be done manually or by using one of the citation templates (eg Template:cite journal, Template:cite news, Template:cite book - which are invoked from within an article using curley brackets, eg ) - copy & paste over a blank entry from the relevant template page and fill in the parameters.

PubMed is a good place to go searching biomedical journals (use this link to search). With a PMID abstract number, Diberri's tool at http://diberri.dyndns.org/wikipedia/templates/?type=pmid may be used to create a completed entry for you, and one just needs to copy & paste into the wikipedia article. Diberri's tool also can provide markups using ISBNs, as well as other useful template forms.David Ruben Talk 01:42, 10 October 2007 (UTC)
