Adding new item to list[edit]

I noted there was no reference to the Michigan Center Dam on this list of dams in Michigan. So I added Michigan Center Dam completed in 1911 [1] But after I added the note, I was told I did not have </ref> at the end--but I did. And it does not show up on the page. So I don't know what to do about it. Jmlindner. Sorry. Help me if you can. Jmlindner (talk) 15:23, 20 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Jmlindner: I don't see any problems in your only other edit this year. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 18:23, 20 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks. I've reworked both pages. Would you kindly check them out?
How do you hide a url in a reference? I want to make "Michigan Dam Inventory" a hypertext that includes the url:
https://gis-egle.hub.arcgis.com/datasets/c0033d45400e484a9a9bfc83f9a60ce8/explore?location=42.882993%2C-83.185030%2C8.38
I'll keep this page up. Will your reply appear here? Jmlindner (talk) 22:24, 21 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I don't understand what you mean by hide a url in a reference. Please note that this is not a help forum, it is the talk page for discussing improvements to the page Help:Cite errors. But judging by this edit, where you added an empty <ref></ref> tag pair, you need to read up on Help:Referencing for beginners. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 15:55, 22 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Jmlindner:, may I suggest that if you have follow-up questions, that you ask them at the Wikipedia:Teahouse? Thanks. Mathglot (talk) 01:18, 23 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
