References in Extracellular vesicle

Hi H2OBear, thanks for your work on this massive expansion - appreciated! :) I just wanted to note that I really hope you will replace the reference placeholders currently in use (which all display as naked PMIs) with informative references that state author, title, journal and date in addition to the URL. Otherwiee someone else, who does not have all the material at their fingertips already, will have to spend a LOT of effort getting these into a legible state :p Cheers --Elmidae (talk · contribs) 22:30, 21 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you! I heard there was a citation bot that can help me with this...or is that wrong? Thanks for your help! H2OBear (talk) 22:32, 21 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I tried a citation bot at wmflabs.org, and it seems to have done almost everything, but then there is a red line at the bottom saying the bot or its ip address is blocked. I will do this the hard way if I must but would prefer not to!! H2OBear (talk) 23:07, 21 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I am trying to find a bot to convert PMIDs at Extracellular vesicle. Thank you in advance! H2OBear (talk) 23:09, 21 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Never used that myself, but now that I go looking for it, there seems to be a tool that expands PMIDs into full citations: [1]. Seems to work perfectly. Learned something :) --Elmidae (talk · contribs) 23:10, 21 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
