format of refs

[edit]

Good morning. I re-submitted the page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:FEI2015/Ingmar_de_vos today. As instructed, I have added more external references. I do have one question concerning the way references are numbered. Some of the links are mentioned more than once in the page because their content is relevant for more than one section of the page, this means that the same link has different reference numbers in the list at the bottom of the page. Is this a normal behaviour within Wikipedia or can a link have a unique number throughout the page. I tried to look in the help, even contacted the online help but was not successful. thanks for your help. Best regards, Nicole FEI2015 (talk) 08:31, 9 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@FEI2015:, Hi, did you look at WP:REFB? Its under the Help:Referencing_for_beginners#Same_reference_used_more_than_once. See the sample below for one method, there are others. -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 17:11, 30 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

actual issues

[edit]

The formatting of refs is a minor issue that you should be worried about addressing AFTER the issue of establishing that the subject merits an article , because if you don't establish that first, it doesnt matter how pretty it looks, the article won't go live (or if it does it will be quickly or less quickly deleted. -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 17:21, 30 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

This subject is clearly a notable individual in the equine world and merits an article. I just noticed this one and have pinged the folks at WP:EQUINE to see if anyone can trot over and lend a hand here. Montanabw(talk) 17:33, 24 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
