Response[edit]

Hi! I took a look - the reason they're showing up as letters is because you're using the source more than once in the article. The letters next to the source number will show where they're cited in the article. If you click "a" for the fourth source (the Olson source), for example, it will take you to the end of the sentence "Freedom of speech, protection of privacy, right to active private life, right to education, protection of personal data and the right to public sector information all fall under the umbrella of informational self-determination".

It's definitely better to cite the sources like you have here as opposed to doing each one separately, as this helps keep the reference section a little more orderly, but it's also not automatically wrong to post a new citation each time. Shalor (Wiki Ed) (talk) 19:52, 8 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
