Adding references
Hi!

I saw that you attempted to add a reference to Iodine-131 by adding the following under "References": 48. The Journal of Nuclear Medicine, Salivary gland uptake of Meta-[I131]Iodobenzylguanidine by M. Nakajo, B. Shapiro, J.C. Sisson, D.P. Swanson, and W.H. Beierwaltes University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, Michigan. J Nucl Med 25:2-6, 1984 You probably want to make that a footnote, to link the reference to a statement. Help is available at the link in the previous sentence, but the short version is that you should enclose the reference in tags next to a statement it supports. That will also automatically take care of numbering for you, so you don't have to e.g. type "48". There are also templates available to assist you in citing sources. For example, the citation template will format the reference for you in a consistent way. E.g. produces

Happy editing! If you need more help, you can turn to the Wikipedia help desk or ask me on my talk page. Kolbasz (talk) 14:25, 18 February 2014 (UTC)
