Reference Decluttering
editFootnotes belong at the foot of the document - and that goes for markup source as well!
This is how it's done:
Some Fact.<ref name="Ref One"/>
And then at the bottom the == References ==
section:
{{reflist|refs= <ref name="Ref One"> {{cite web | last = | first = | title = Whatever It's Called | date = | website = | publisher = | url = http://www.hatev.er.URL.it's.at | accessdate = }} </ref> }}
Consult Wikipedia:Citing_sources#Avoiding_clutter for further details.
Style
editThe URL is *not* the most important information in quoting a source. Not even when quoting a website. It should be close to the end of the "ref" block.
Multiple Quotes with different Page numbers
editAfter the first full Cite use:
<ref>Miller 2005, p. 34.</ref>
-- WP:CITESHORT#Short citations
Alternatively some users seem to use:
<ref name=Shurtleff/>{{rp|419}}
