Repeat References[edit]

Hi, Geust. I noticed you've been adding endorsements to some of the presidential campaign articles, such as Barry Goldwater 1964 presidential campaign. Thanks for doing that work. However, I see you've been adding duplicate references (e.g., FNs 146-58 of the Goldwater campaign article). These should be consolidated into a single instance of a reference by giving it a name that is then called in later iterations (e.g., FN 2 of the Goldwater campaign article). In the code for the initial instance of the reference, the <ref> tag at the beginning should be replaced with <ref name=NICKNAME>. That way, in later instances, you can call the reference by typing <ref name=NICKNAME/> instead of duplicating the reference's code and thereby cluttering the list of references. Ping if questions. Thanks, Tyrol5 [talk] 22:15, 31 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi again. To give you a sense of what I mean, I've gone ahead and cleaned up the Goldwater article as I described above. You can see the changes I made here. Thanks again. Tyrol5 [talk] 23:23, 31 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for the telling be about this, I will make sure to use it in the future Geust44 (talk) 23:32, 31 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
