Your referencing style

Referencing may look daunting, but it's easy enough to do. Here's a guide to getting started. References are important to validate your writing and inform the reader. Any editor can remove unreferenced material, and unsubstantiated articles may end up getting deleted, so when you add something to an article, it's advisable to also include a reference to say from where it came. If you need any assistance, let me know.

style="vertical-align: top;"

| colspan=2 | All information in Wikipedia articles should be verified by citations to reliable sources. Our preferred method of citation is using the "[http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Cite/Cite.php cite.php]" form of inline citations, using the elements. Using this method, each time a particular source is mined for information (don't copy word-for-word!), a footnote is placed in the text ("inline"), that takes one to the detail of the source when clicked, set forth in a references section after the text of the article.

In brief, anywhere you want a footnote to appear in a piece of text, you place an opening tag followed by the text of the citation which you want to appear at the bottom of the article, and close with a tag. Note the closing slash ("/"). For multiple use of a single reference, the opening ref tag is given a name, like so: followed by the citation text and a closing tag. Each time you want to use that footnote again, you simply use the first element with a slash, like so: .

In order for these references to appear, you must tell the software where to display them, using either the code or, most commonly, the template, {{tl|Reflist}} which can be modified to display the references in columns using {{Reflist|colwidth=30em}}. Per our style guidelines, the references should be displayed in a separate section denominated "References" located after the body of the article.
