References in Notes

I suggest that the references supporting the statement (in Note "a") "Millars had various business names in its history" should be formatted as references, with <ref> tags, but it is not clear which words in the remainder of the current note are part of the references and which are part of the explanatory note (which of is why the references should formatted as such, so that it is clear to the reader what is an actual reference and what is an explanatory comment by a Wikipedia editor). Perhaps someone with access to the reference material could apply the necessary formatting. Mitch Ames (talk) 02:13, 23 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Not to hand a specific reference: but, ...

see Thomas, W. C. (1929) "Outlines of the Timber Industry" in W.A. The Journal and proceedings of the Western Australian Historical Society, Vol.1, Part V, page 36:- Names of the Timber Companies that joined in the Amalgamation Scheme of 1902 is the note part,

Millars had various business names in its history and original title being Millars' Karri & Jarrah Forests (1902) Limited – later changed to Millars Timber & Trading Co. Ltd. is not quoting from Thomas at all but wikipedia editors explanation. JarrahTree 08:26, 23 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

It would be easier to follow if you just put <ref> tags around the actual reference in the article. Also I suspect that "and proceedings of the Western Australian Historical Society" might be part of the publication name (because it appears before "Vol 1...") so perhaps ought to be italicised.
