Guidance on footnotes
You seem to be to grips with referencing but may still find the linked pages useful:

Footnotes can be added inline to the body of your text using And the resultant text would look like: JavaScript is used on webpages today.1

With the superscript 1 being a link to a footnote at the bottom of the page automatically created by inserting the code:

An easy to follow standard guide is at Referencing for beginners with citation templates, an online video demonstration can be played at Footnotes demo.ogv and a primer for general editing is at How to edit a page.

Checking your first (excellent) article, you might also find harvnb a useful way of using standard Harvard format to cross reference to a citation without duplicating the whole of the reference in each footnote, thereby making the References section quite a bit easier on the eye. For an example of this, see British Library Philatelic Collections where the footnotes citing specific parts of Harris' book are kept very simple by automatically linking to the Sources section where a the full reference has been included using the citation template. If you get to grips with how to do this stuff then you are likely to be admired by friends by your Wikipedia prowess (or at least a few other Wikipedians).

PS, you might want to add new British Library related articles to GLAM/BL, this will probably encourage one of the friendly collaborators to check it out and possibly make some suggestions or improvements. Thanks, Fæ (talk) 17:10, 22 March 2011 (UTC)
