I do it by writing: <ref>For the date of birth, see Smith, 2010, p. 1 *For the unhappiness of the marriage, see Jones, 2010, p. 2. *For the jail term, see Brown, 2010, p. 3.</ref> Then full citations in the References section. Or you can add the full citations in the footnote. If it's at the end of the paragraph, it doesn't add to edit-mode clutter, so you can afford to give more details in the footnote itself. _______________________________________________ foundation-l mailing list foundation-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l
