Encyc:References

a proposed system for making references easier:

list references in the bottom of the article in the order that they are added using non-wiki mark-up

reference in the article, after the period of the sentence or paragraph in which the cited material was referenced using as set of parenthesis () and the number of the reference for example. (1.)

if references are to be removed, then do not re-number the references. if there are ten references, and the fifth and six references had been removed from the article, then it would be numbered 3...4....7.... and so on.
