I've fixed the second issue you pointed out - one of the references wasn't closed properly, so all of that text was actually included in a reference. I'm not sure what you're asking with your first question, though, can you clarify? Nikkimaria (talk) 19:10, 29 November 2011 (UTC)

Thank You Nikki ..if I have any other questions I will let you know.

  Actually, I do have another question ...I think I may have cited my sources incorrectly...because I just typed the code in, rather than clicking cite, and then templates...how do I fix this?
 * You don't need to click cite if you prefer to just type the code. If you go to the template's info page (for example, cite journal), it'll give you an outline of what parameters are available to be used. You don't need to use all of them, but you do need enough for a complete citation - ie. url, title, publisher and access date for web sources; title, pages, journal, author, date, volume for journals; etc. Nikkimaria (talk) 20:29, 29 November 2011 (UTC)

  actually I apologise, I have yet another question. When I have cited a source once, how do I cite later sources without having to repeat all of the details?
 * You use a technique called WP:NAMEDREFS. Basically what you would do is type the first time (omitting the "nowiki" part, and choosing a better name than xyz), and then on other occurrences simply type (again omitting the nowiki). Nikkimaria (talk) 21:10, 29 November 2011 (UTC)
