Elevation
[edit]Hi - Thanks for the message about the KY elevation reference. Do you know how to cite a reference in an article? Including the reference in the edit summary is great, but including the reference in the article itself would be better. Now, if you read the article it says the figures are based on the cited statistical abstract reference (which gives the other elevation). Someone's added a different figure for California (with a cited reference). Do you think you could do the same sort of thing for KY? Note that this same figure appears pretty many other places (like in the KY article, and even later in the same "list by elevation" article) as well. Thanks very much for the update (and the reference), and if you can add the reference to the text and fix the other places where the other number is listed that'd be great! -- Rick Block (talk) 04:31, 25 August 2006 (UTC)
I'm new here, but I'd be glad to and would like to cite my references, but I don't understand from the California example how to do that. Is that example correct? I see the [2] beside the elevation, but how is one supposed to figure out which reference it refers to?

[edit]americasroof.com and www.americasroof.com are both dead. At least, I can't get to them. If you can get a functional link to the waiver, feel free to edit; otherwise I'm leaving it be. Porkchopmcmoose 18:14, 10 September 2006 (UTC)
PS: maybe we should be carrying this conversation on the Black Mountain talk page?
