The first reference seems to lead to a general page listing ], though I can't get it to load and the URL seems to be from the Philippines (gov.ph). The second reference leads to the 2008 Demographic Health Survey for Nigeria. But it doesn't give a page number, so we don't know how to find the information. And there's no reason to use the 2008 report when there is a 2013 Demographic Health Survey available for Nigeria.

Source request

Wikicology, it might be worth looking at one example here of the sourcing issues. I see this is an article you've started cleaning up.

It states:

"The National Demographic Health Survey (NDHS) report in 2008 suggested that over 25% of adolescent in Nigeria often experience the first sexual abuse at the age of 15."

You sourced this to:

"Index of NDHS Reports - National Statistics Office". Retrieved 17 September 2014.
"NDHS 2008". Retrieved 17 September 2014.

The first reference seems to lead to a general page listing Demographic and Health Surveys, though I can't get it to load and the URL seems to be from the Philippines (gov.ph). The second reference leads to the 2008 Demographic Health Survey for Nigeria. But it doesn't give a page number, so we don't know how to find the information. And there's no reason to use the 2008 report when there is a 2013 Demographic Health Survey available for Nigeria.
