Hi Wikipedia Editors, I was trying to delete the references that are empty or citing exterior websites (reference #3 and #4) but I am having a difficult time deleting in the reference list.

Cite #3 is a legitimate City of Del Mar reference for Surf Etiquette, so I would like to know why it is not recommended. I would like to use the City of Del Mar link for surf etiquette rules, and feel it does provide greater credence to the referenced resources. Thank you for this information.

I am still working on the citations and will be adding sourced images. I hope this article will be allowed as a stand alone article, and not inserted as a section in the Surfing wikipedia article. This information is very important for surfing, and needs to be available for all surfers. There are many website articles on Surf Etiquette, but none cited. And in the last year due to Covid 19, the surfing industry has seen a surge of beginners crowding the beaches. As an experienced surfer and a licensed surf instructor, I've seen and experienced more issues than in the past 6 years. Thank you very much for your assistance.

 * Reference #3 uses a template with no parameters filled in.  Edit the template in the User:Navymom9194/sandbox section to fix this.
 * Reference #4 contains https://www.delmar.ca.us/, and you should not add an entire URL in the website parameter. I would use City of Delmar, California instead.  Happy editing!  GoingBatty (talk) 01:54, 8 February 2021 (UTC)

Hi Wikipedia Editors, I finished my references, and corrected Reference #4. Almost ready to publish after I add pictures. Thank you for the prior assistance! However, I still can't seem to make the right corrections for Reference #3. I followed the above directions, but still having trouble. If you could help, thank you again. Also, I am trying to add a Infobox sport template and when I preview, the empty sections show up. Watching videos and went in trying to use the Infobox sport/doc template. Next, I will add images (already uploaded in Wikimedia). Thank you, Navymom9194 (talk) 04:34, 19 February 2021 (UTC).
 * The  parameter does not want the prefixes or suffixes that normally appear in a URL. I've fixed these for you.  — jmcgnh (talk)  (contribs) 04:55, 19 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Err, I tried to fix them for you, but while I was writing this response, you seem to have figured it out for yourself.  — jmcgnh (talk) (contribs) 04:57, 19 February 2021 (UTC)
