I followed the advice of Mary and sure enough she was right! I added a Find A Grave link for you and you can look at that in the edit mode and see "behind the scenes" as to how that works. Good luck further!
Thanks for your assistance.

It is because what you added to the biography is in between the reference tags. The source/citation is what should be between the reference tags (<ref></ref>). Not the facts/info that you want in the bio.
