On Oct. 22, 2022 Kay Sands added a detailed biography and 6 sources to the profile of Marie Rose Sears-1080.  None of the sources show on the final profile and it is listed as unsourced.  I couldn't fix it.  Can someone help?

When you are in the edit view, inline citations will not be visible unless you click on the "preview button"

Inline citations are visible in the public view, under Sources

I removed the unsourced template.

I have just spent an hour trying to get citations to appear in the 'Sources' section of a biography, with no success... until I realized that along with the <ref>citation text</ref> embedded within the body of the biography, the following code MUST be included at the end of the text:

<references />

It was as simple as that. I had deleted it, not understanding that it was a critical piece of information. Once this was included at the end of the text, all was fixed and appeared as it should.
