Hi Mike, Those tags are meant to be helpful pointers (at least that's how I mean them) to teach folks about how to properly cite and format Wikipedia articles. Try Citing sources/example style for the "how" of citing sources. If you want to give me a specific example for one of the citations (e.g. the sentence that can be cited and the reference used and page number), I can get you started from a formating perspective. Then the rest is just basically copying that format and changing the reference/page information in the specific inline citation. Check out Ty Cobb as an example of an article that uses inline citations.

Another good place for an overview of proper formating is the Manual of Style.

Also, if you don't want to publish your email address on the talk pages of other folks, just go to the "my preferences" tab at the top right, then on the "User profile" tab, if you put in your email address, it will activate the "Email this user" for your Wikipedia account. People can email you without you having to give your email address.

Hope this was helpful. Good luck!

 * Hi, you are exactly correct. Thanks for catching the fact that I didn't follow the WP:MOS guidelines all the way. After unwikifying the header, you are supposed to make sure the link to the article is in the first sentence of the section for easy reference. --Roswell native (talk) 01:39, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
