There are several ways of adding citations that do not clutter up the text.
1. A superscript which point to a footnote.
2. A hypertext link to the source like [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/All_wet] which will display [1].
3. Using comments while editing that do not show up in the displayed text:

That's why all that material is in the endnotes, not cluttering up the text. References are the foundation of the building, not the living room furniture.
