Data Doctor Challenge of the Week: Correct simple errors in reference tags

Question

Hi WikiTreers,

Will you join our "Data Doctors" Challenge of the week?

This is an easy one to participate in, once you know how reference tags work, i.e.:

1. A footnote needs to start with <ref> and end with </ref>.
2. There needs to be a <references /> tag directly below the == Sources == headline for the footnotes to display.

Using these tags is confusing for "Newts." It's very frustrating for new members when a tag is missing or misplaced and they can't figure out why footnotes aren't appearing.

Once again, Aleš has come up with something incredibly helpful. He's prepared a report of profiles from around the tree where a reference tag appears to be misplaced.

Click here for the list.

Can you help fix them? 

If you're participating, please post here to let us know. It's nice to cheer each other on. Or post if you have any questions about how to participate.

Thanks for helping!

Answer 3

Answer 4

Answer 5

I'll do some...these are more relaxing than Solitaire!

It got easier once I figured out to "tease them apart" (put the cursor between a close </ref> tag and the following <ref> open ref tag....and add some returns to get some space. That helps see the typos, incorrect tag, and other kinds of errors.

It also helps find the extra, unneeded, open or closed tags which will result in an error.

Once fixed, just take the extra returns back out and close up the block of text.
