References
References add a professional look & add completeness to your article. If you cite certain external articles/books, use the references to provide the link or source information of your citation. References automatically order and number themselves according to the order they are used in the article.

---|---|
Inline References Link | <ref name=RefName></ref> Put this inline with your text. It will appear as a [#] link and will automatically get a number. For example: [1] |
Start of References Section | <references> At the end of the page, please add a section to the document: ===References=== |
Reference | <ref name="RefName">Reference Text or Link</ref> Place these References inside the References Section (<references></references>) |
End of References Section | </references> |
Example / how it will appear.
