Referencing[edit]

If you need the same reference more than once, name the ref tag. For example, you need to use Introduction to Politics by John Smith twice. So you do this like this:

Germany is a democracy.<ref name=smith>Smith, John. ''Introduction to Politics'', page 30.</ref>
It has a two-tier parliament.<ref name=smith/>

See the second time you don't need to re-type the entire ref. It's enough to just to name it. Notice / the second time the reference is used. Also, if you cite from different pages, you can simple give a range (like Smith, John. Introduction to Politics, pages 30-35). It is not really neccessary to make a new reference only because the page number changed. But if you want to do that, of course, you can. But in such case I would suggest using two-tier citation system as I introduced in René Massigli: you give only author and page number in between ref tags, and full book information is presented under the article. If you have any questions, just ask me! Renata (talk) 05:39, 1 September 2008 (UTC)

Hey, I see you adopted the shorter citation mechanism. I hope you found that it saves some time ;) I wanted to tell you two things. First, if you are naming the references, you need to provide the content only once. In fact, the code will completely disregard whatever is in between the second pair of ref tags if it has the same name as the first. So modifying my earlier example,

Germany is a democracy.<ref name=smith>Smith, John. ''Introduction to Politics'', page 30.</ref>
It has a two-tier parliament.<ref name=smith>John Smith does not know what he is talking about</ref>

would give the following result:

Germany is a democracy.[1] It has a two-tier parliament.[1]
  1. ^ a b Smith, John. Introduction to Politics, page 30. Cite error: The named reference "smith" was defined multiple times with different content (see the help page).

See, the comment in the second tag does not show up. It is "overwritten" by the first tag. So it is a waste of effort to put anything in between the second pair of ref tags. The second time you use the same reference, simply type in <ref name=smith/> (note a slash after smith - that's what causes the magic trick to happen).

Second, dots and commas should go before ref tags, and not before. So for example, you would type in (note the location of the period):

Germany is a democracy.<ref name=smith/>

and not

Germany is a democracy<ref name=smith/>.

"Yvonne also admitted that Jill was 'keen on men' and susceptible" [page 22].
"Jill would later wright in a small notebook titled Odd Reflections: 'Infidelity is not necessarily incompatible with loyalty'" [page 25]
"Jill confided to her daughter that she and Jeffrey were sexually incompatible. Jill may have already began affairs with other man. Later she admitted:
"If you are very attractive... you get so involved. They absorb so much of your time emotionally... Fending off men. Men who felt that they had broken their hearts. Yet they get somebody lse pretty quickly. At the time you are convinced that they did something terrible. You've said yes, you might, and then, you don't want to, and they get mad." [page 26]
"Barbara, acting as the couple's secretary and baby-sitter, saw in Jill a woman out of touch with her husband and no longer observing her marriage vows." [page 32]
"To the end of her life, she was both proud that she had respected his marriage and regretful that she had not made love to [Henry] Moore." [page 48]
"Barbara Dell remembered trying to keep Julie out of the way, but Jill's affair with her cameraman Friedman was obvious to everyone on the set - and elsewhere ... " [page 83]
"In 1946, the affair with Friedman apparently over, Jill moved out of Malcolm MacDonald's house, Frognal Lodge, and into Liam MacQuitty's Hampstead residence." [page 83]
""I wasn't supposed to know they were sleeping together. Ny mother would ruffle up the spare bed, but I could see that it had not been slept in properly." [page 90]
"Michael recalled that Malcolm gave Jill many lavish gifts, including works of art [he also gave Julie a horse]. Jill wrote in Odd Reflections the more you take, the more you are loved - so foolish are men." [page 92]
"In Odd Reflections Jill wrote: 'Better to be treated as a sex object than a sexless object'." [page 115]
"In Odd Reflections Jill wrote: 'Nothing will cnvince me that life has anything better to offer than a marriage in which both parties rate each other's welfare and happiness of supreme importance - give or take a few adulterous moments.' [page 116]
