[[Lang Hancock]], which I bring up whenever I need to refer to a good article I've written (since, alas, it's the only really good one I can claim!), has References, External links, Further reading, and See also. I listed all my sources as footnotes in "References", and now there's far too many footnotes; especially when I cite some sources more than once. I've been considering renaming "References" to "Footnotes" and using it only for extraordinary claims, and moving everything else to a sources section ("References"). Then there'll be Footnotes, References, See also, Further reading, and External links.
I dunno. Have a look at some Featured Articles - to get through FAC these days, you need the metric shitload of references. A lot of people seem to put them <small>, which helps the less-interested eye gloss over them reading the article.
