Place references here

edit

Please put your references here- they don't belong in the External links section. I am moving the photos here. If you find that they are unusable, or have been used to completion, just cross them off the list, like this. Thanks. --Leahtwosaints (talk) 13:57, 16 April 2011 (UTC)Reply

On Wikipedia, references for articles can be in the form of footnotes, or they can be in the form of general references, which are listed in bullet point form at the end of the article without being tied to a specific part of the article. Footnotes are preferable to general references, because they clearly show which parts of the article are being supported by which references, but general references are also acceptable. Both footnotes and general references should be listed in a section called Notes, References, or Notes and references, but not in the External links section. For more information about all this, see Wikipedia:Manual of Style (layout)#Notes and References, Wikipedia:Citing sources#General reference, and Wikipedia:External links#References and citation. So, I'm going to go ahead and restore the References section to this article, because it provides important references that verify the material in the article, and also establish the notability of the subject.

Additional citations tag

edit

Greetings. The article is tagged for needing "additional citations for verification." (It used to be tagged as entirely lacking in references.) Since I added sources to the article, I cannot locate text that is not supported by citations. Of course, I follow the practice of citing at the end of a paragraph and not at the end of each sentence, when everything in the paragraph comes from the cited source. Any suggestions, TAnthony? Thanks in advance. -The Gnome (talk) 06:32, 22 August 2018 (UTC)Reply

Hey there. Though my AWB run automatically updated the tag's date to current, I believe it was originally placed there in December 2017 and a lot seems to have changed since then. I removed the tag but added some inline "citation needed" templates to three sentences/paragraphs that seemed unsourced. Thanks! — TAnthonyTalk 14:13, 22 August 2018 (UTC)Reply
