Hey Tiptoety, by the way you don't ned to add ~~~~ to your edit summaries, as your edits are automatically marked in the history as being yours, the ~~~~ tiles are just for when you are "posting" on talk pages like this one :) though it's awesome to see you summarizing your edits already! Keep up the good work, I'll see you around. SGGH 14:07, 30 May 2007 (UTC)

I've rewritten a little bit of the MCSO SAR article just to make sure there are no further copyright problems, and I'll step back now to let you carry on with your wikiwork! Just ask me or Kat if you need any help or have any questions, and I'll see you around the place. SGGH 19:35, 30 May 2007 (UTC)

I have done as you asked. To cite something, just take what you had placed in the notes section (the <nowiki<{{cite web...</nowiki> thing) and put it where in the text you want the foot note to be, enclosed in some ref tags: <ref>....</ref> like below:

(with wiki markup removed)SGGH is a user on wikipedia<ref>Chucher p. 106</ref>

Notes

{{reflist}}

Would become (with markup enabled)

SGGH is a user on wikipedia

Notes

1. Chucher p. 106

see? SGGH 21:30, 30 May 2007 (UTC)

PS, scroll through Mozambican War of Independence, an FA that I wrote, to see how to use inline cites, just click "edit this page" and look at how the coding works to make footnotes. SGGH 21:31, 30 May 2007 (UTC)
