Help me!
Please help me with... Rosa Beltrán I have two questions. How can I remove the box that says "This article has multiple issues....? I removed all external links in the body of the article and the box still there. Second question, why is it that I cannot see what is inside the References box, nor edit it?ReadingLady (talk) 21:15, 12 June 2023 (UTC)ReadingLady ReadingLady (talk) 21:15, 12 June 2023 (UTC)


 * The template that adds the "box" has to be manually removed. If you are using the visual editor, click on it, then click on "edit" to open the window where you can make changes to it. If you are using the source editor you'll find the code for the template at (or near the top) of the source code. In this case the lines are:
 * If you only want to remove the external links template you can change this to:
 * I'm not sure what you mean by "References box". Do you mean the list under the "References" heading at the end of the Article? If so the list of references is automatically created by using the template using the references written in the article text.

 * It seems likely that you should not remove the multiple issues maintenance template yourself. Yes, you removed some external links, but added others in a way that still is not following policy.
 * The other maintenance problem which you appear to have contributed to is adding even more material without proper citations. The 'citations' section does not follow one of the allowed styles of referencing for this type of article. Once you get past the intro - which is expected to be without footnotes and simply a summary of material from the body text, essentially every claim made in the body text needs to come with a footnote to identify the source. All of the awards, certainly. I'm not sure about what's the best practice to identify books in a list of books or other writings - there is certainly no need for that list to be exhaustive. Some people consider just the ISBN to be sufficient, for books.
 * If you click on the [edit] button next to the 'references' section, you'll see nothing. That section is created by the software by accumulating citations from pairs in the body of the article.
 * I don't want to discourage you from continuing to contribute to this article, or others, but it would be better if you could follow standard policies.  — jmcgnh (talk) (contribs) 22:38, 12 June 2023 (UTC)
