Poppers article references
Hi Meand,

How does one go about editing the references section on the poppers article. It seems there is no way; very odd.

Many thanks. Straightshooter7 02:50, 29 April 2007 (UTC)


 * Hi Straightshooter,


 * The Poppers article uses inline citations, which makes the article much more researcher friendly, since it tells the reader where exactly ey can check the given claim. Thus the references are not all in one section, rather they are dotted about the article together with the text that they reference.


 * The simple explanation is that to create a citation, you place it within &lt;ref&gt;&lt;/ref&gt; tags after whatever text the citation verifies, and to edit a citation, you need to find the text that it first verifies (the ^ and letter page bookmarks in the references section are your friend here); the citation text will be after this text in the edit box.


 * For the more complex version, you might want to have a look around Footnotes, or I've created a fairly brief, albeit not very well written summary at User:Meand/IC. me_and 15:43, 29 April 2007 (UTC)
