That ornery "Outfoxed" citation

Hey there, I was really puzzled as to why you kept reverting and re-adding your own edit -- but then I saw how the bottom of the article disappeared every time you put it back in, and ka-zing! -- I knew what the problem was. Very simple, in fact. (but so easy to miss!) It's referred to as a "dangling ref tag" -- i.e. an unclosed ref tag -- where the second tag reads <ref> instead of </ref>, like it needs to, in order to close properly. I've seen it dozens of times, sometimes it leads to the most bizarre results, with long passages of text showing up in the footnotes, etc., etc. Anyway, I already took care of it. And the next time you run into this problem, you'll know what to look for... Cgingold 18:07, 8 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

So that's what it was! I was really confused by what was happening. Thanks very much for the help, I'll keep that in mind next time it happens :). Edders 18:14, 8 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks

Thanks for catching the vandalism on my pages. The user was reported and now blocked.--Oakshade 01:20, 15 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You're welcome, I saw their edit summary and guessed they were up to mischief elsewhere. Edders 12:19, 15 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
