Citing sources
Welcome to Wikipedia. You should have look through Citing sources and see the way we make citations on Wikipedia. In particular, when you are in the editing window, there is a link titled "Cite" in the tool bar, on the right end of the tool bar. Click that, and on the left of the resulting dropped down tool bar, select "Templates". Try using "cite web", but feel free to experiment as appropriate. For an example, I've converted the first cite in Karl Pillemer to this format, and added " " which automatically generates the references list. See the edit.

puffery
We do not use unsourced adjectives or expressions of praise in WP articles. WP articles must be documented; If a particular study was the first, best. or lmost recent, we have no way of knowing this unless we have references for this from an independent source. We can not deduce this by just linlking to an index or the like--the policy is WP:No Original Research. Nor does it help to use adjectives like "famous" -- if the article is written properly, the reader will understand it from the accomplishment related in the article.
