OK, restored for now to allow referencing  Jimfbleak -  talk to me?  12:00, 28 September 2010 (UTC)

The best way to do references is to put them in line, so that each reference follows the facts it is supporting. The simplest format is to put, and put a References section at the end followed by An example follows, but you don't need to use ref name= (unless you have multiple refs to the same source), or the cite templates: I've put a simple ref immediately after this sentence.

Example
The gadfly petrels in the genus Pterodroma are seabirds of temperate and tropical oceans. Many are little-known, and their often similar appearance have caused the taxonomy of the group to be rather fluid. The forms breeding in Macaronesia on Madeira, Bugio in the Desertas Islands, and in the Cape Verde archipelago were long considered to be subspecies of the Southern Hemisphere Soft-plumaged Petrel, P. mollis, but mitochondrial DNA analysis, and differences in size, vocalisations, breeding behaviour, showed that the northern birds are not closely related to P. mollis, and that the Bermuda Petrel or Cahow may be the closest relative of the Macaronesian birds. Sangster recommended establishing Zino's Petrel on Madeira and Fea's Petrel on the Desertas and Cape Verde as full species, and the species split was accepted by the Association of European Rarities Committees (AERC) in 2003.
