Referencing

I had a look, and I believe I have solved your problem. This is what your reference looked like:

<ref name="NAP"> He received honorary doctorates from [[Brooklyn Polytechnic Institute]] and [[Clark University]].<ref name="NAP"/>

You don't need to include the ref name when you close the tag. All you do is put </ref> at the end and it shows up on the reflist. So, your reference should instead look like:

<ref name="NAP"> He received honorary doctorates from [[Brooklyn Polytechnic Institute]] and [[Clark University]].</ref>

Which should work fine. Any further questions, let me know :) --Skamecrazy123 (talk) 16:39, 12 November 2014 (UTC)

I have (again) fixed the formatting to comply with the Manual of Style. Please do not revert these changes.--ukexpat (talk) 17:47, 12 November 2014 (UTC)

you have made your first edits and you've succeeded marvelously

Hi, you just did the following:

• you made an edit with the intention to improve Wikipedia. That's great.
• you realized wikitext is hard to use, and you made a mistake in using it. That's fine, we're a collaborative project and we clean up after each other.
• you found effective venues to get help. That's even better. Wikipedia can be a maze of confusion, but people are mostly happy to help.

Don't worry about making honest mistakes, and have fun as a Wikipedian! Martijn Hoekstra (talk) 18:23, 12 November 2014 (UTC)

More info about ref

Hi, NeoGraphix. Do you have any more information about the ref to "Army Research and Development Newsmagazine" you added to the Richard S. Morse article? Was there an article title? An author given? A page number? Jason Quinn (talk) 20:07, 14 November 2014 (UTC)
