Reading (process)

Hi Clarkal1, and thanks for your edit to Reading (process)! Unfortunately, I've undone it because it broke the page formatting. If you want to learn how to format citations properly, check out the easy citation guide. Also, we don't usually put references in the lead section - while it's not forbidden, the lead is supposed to be a summary of the other things in the article, so the idea is that all the citations for the material in the lead section should be located in the article body. Have a look at WP:LEAD for more details, and feel free to ask me if you have any questions. Best regards — Mr. Stradivarius ^{♪ talk ♪} 07:14, 5 November 2013 (UTC)

Thank you, Mr. Stradivarius. This helped me greatly and I was able to use the proper formatting to edit the article.
