[edit] Citation
Hi, Migglesworth! Regarding the citation in the reggae genres article: the way you were doing things were correct, the reason the citation didn't show up was because the page didn't already have a references section near the bottom of the page. A new section and a small piece of code has to be added for citations to be listed, like this:
==Footnotes== <references/>
or
==References==
{{reflist}}
Both {{reflist}} or <references/> will give the exact same results, which one to use is just a matter of personal taste. The full Wikipedia guideline is at Wikipedia:Citing sources, but it's layout is a bit messy in my opinion. Take care, Gaaarg (talk) 00:50, 7 June 2008 (UTC)
