Citations vs. Wikilinks
At Wikipedia, we don't use other Wikipedia pages as references for our articles. (See WP:CIRCULAR. The TL;DR: because anyone can edit Wikipedia, it is not actually a very reliable source, so we look for better external sources for verification of our content.) In the draft you're writing (Draft:Oliver Gibbs Jr.), you've made this mistake several times. It appears that you wish to link to the relevant Wikipedia articles, and believe that the way to do that is by creating a reference to the articles. But Wikipedia offers a much better way to create those links, called a "Wikilink". So, rather than writing:

we write:

The difference in the text this produces is:
 * Gibbs worked as an agricultural laborer.

vs:
 * Gibbs word as an agricultural worker.

I suggest you read up on both Wikilinking and references to learn the difference. WikiDan61 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 20:31, 3 May 2018 (UTC)
