I looked at your edits to Biblical clothing‎ and can see where your hyperlinks failed. You were using a double pipe symbol before the book name, and also included nowiki pairs around the link. You had when what is required is  which yields.

I'm a little concerned though about where you got the information. The inclusion of 18 and similar makes it look as though this is just cut and pasted from another source. Wikipedia is very strict on copyrights, text copied from another source needs to be shown to be free of copyright. If you can post here where you got the text from I'll see if there is a sensible way around this.

Thank you though for attempting to add valuable content on your first edit, and especially having the courage to remove it when things didn't work correctly. Please don't be disparaged, we were all beginners once. Martin of Sheffield (talk) 18:22, 12 June 2016 (UTC)
