Double Census citations
editI saw your request for assistance with the accidentally doubled citations on Loleta, California. Here is the "diff" of the two versions which shows you the two very minor changes I made.
When a reference is cited more than one time in an article the first use is
<ref name = "SomeName">SomeName, Sarah, 2012, How to cite articles for Wiki, Times-Standard, Eureka, CA</ref>
The second use of the reference is
<ref name = "SomeName" />
Which makes the second pointer to the same source.
I hope this answers your question. There's more Wiki syntax on my user page if you just click on the link to my name that doesn't say talk. BTW, I had a wonderful sandwich last night on Loleta Bakery bread and thought again of one of my favorite towns on the North Coast. Cheers! Ellin Beltz (talk) 18:28, 17 June 2012 (UTC)
