Joseph Goldberger
Hello, and again welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions so far. Unfortunately some of your recent additions to the page Joseph Goldberger produced referencing errors. To use a ref name, the reference must be fully cited at (usually) the first instance within an article. E.g. . If it is wished to use the ref. in another instance you would just then enter  (note the closing '/'). At the page I have removed the incorrectly formatted ref names and added 'citation needed' tags where the was not already a reference quoted. Please also note that punctuation goes before the reference.

If you have references you wish to add please feel free to do so but I would suggest having a look at WP:REFB as a basic guide to adding citations.

If you are still stuck and looking for help, please see the guide for citing sources or come to the new contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Here are a few other good links for newcomers:
 * The five pillars of Wikipedia
 * How to edit a page
 * Help pages
 * Tutorial
 * How to write a great article
 * Simplified Manual of Style
