I'm trying to be the good wikipedian and adding lots of on-topic refs, but I find editing them to be extremely difficult and error prone. IMHO the actual "body" of the ref should definitely not be placed in the article body, where it is now, as this makes reading the source difficult, to say the least. Click edit on Zune some time...
Is there some alternate format? Can I use the <ref name=gizifa/> and then place the actual contents later in the article, like in the actual reference section? All of my attempts to date have failed.
cite.php currently requires you to have the first <ref name="whatever"> tag contain the reference data, which can also pose a problem if you're moving sections of an article around and you suddenly find all your references break. It might be worth filing a bug request addressing this, which would go some way towards alleviating your problem...
