There appear to be a number of options for formatting reference citations
In the past I've used the with no problem. But I see no way to use the markup with the formatting discussed here (e.g., under the "Usage" section). Playing here with various options has not yet yielded a successful result.Sharl928 (talk) 23:03, 4 July 2016 (UTC)

Playing with citation formatting
While the main article cites reports that McFarland is expected to resign her position because of the resignation of Mike Flynn as National Security Advisor, other reports based on an anonymous source suggest that President Trump wishes her to stay on as Deputy National Security Advisor. The same source notes that McFarland has a close relationship with the Trump family and her loyalty has earned significant trust from the President. It has also been suggested that this may have played a role in the decision by Robert Harward to decline the offer of the position of National Security Advisor (ref. 2), where he would have been McFarland's boss (at least on paper); however, the relatively importance of this factor in Harward's decision is uncertain.

After some thought I decided this was all too tentative to place in the main article. But based on these reports, I have lightly edited (minor edit) the main article in order to attenuate somewhat the assertion of McFarland's "likely" resignation. My decision to mention this at all is based on my judgment that Laura Rozen has a pretty good track record for having reliable sources among officials in U.S. government foreign policy and national security circles. In any event, once the dust has settled the main article can be updated accordingly.Sharl928 (talk) 22:38, 18 February 2017 (UTC)
