But that's pretty good. Ideally, from my standpoint, those references in the bottom would contain not just the source information, but the actual quotes you were using, so one does not need to pore over the article/long research paper/whatever.
Ah yeah. That may be the only convenient way to quote long web pages, where you don't have page numbers to point the reader to the relevant section, actually.
Well, not just web pages. At least with web pages, one can search within them. Quoting is especially important with books! I mean, if one has a 700 page book on Japanese poetry which one is using in [[Fujiwara no Teika]], then at the very minimum, you have to give the page number.
For an example of what I sort of mean, see my [[Encyclopedia of the Brethren of Purity]]: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Encyclopedia_of_the_Brethren_of_Purity
How come you aren't using <ref> tags? Because of the wordiness of the footnotes?
Steve
That, and the fact I don't know/understand the <ref> tag system yet, whereas I do know {{note}} and {{ref}}.
