Where to put and how to use referencing, when you only have one source for an article (which has many sections or paragraphs)?
- Inline references (footnotes) for every paragraph
- Pros: It's easy to add new fact to an article, using a different source
- Cons: Clutters up the text with many footnotes
- Just put the source at the bottom (no footnotes)
- Pros: Doesn't clutter up the text (obviously!)
- Cons: If new info is added from a different source, it's hard to say to where each reference is pointing
Anyone recognize this problem? --Morgan 00:19, 13 December 2010 (UTC)
