Reference Decluttering

[edit]

Footnotes belong at the foot of the document - and that goes for markup source as well!
This is how it's done:
Some Fact.<ref name="Ref One"/>
And then at the bottom the == References == section:

{{reflist|refs=

<ref name="Ref One">
  {{cite web
    | last       = 
    | first      = 
    | title      = Whatever It's Called
    | date       = 
    | website    = 
    | publisher  = 
    | url        = http://www.hatev.er.URL.it's.at
    | accessdate = 
  }}
</ref>

}}

Consult Wikipedia:Citing_sources#Avoiding_clutter for further details.

Style

[edit]

The URL is *not* the most important information in quoting a source. Not even when quoting a website. It should be close to the end of the "ref" block.

Multiple Quotes with different Page numbers

[edit]

After the first full Cite use:

<ref>Miller 2005, p. 34.</ref>

-- WP:CITESHORT#Short citations


Alternatively some users seem to use:

<ref name=Shurtleff/>{{rp|419}}
