:::{{reply to|Namir Riptide}} Looking good. Be sure everything that should be in italics is italicized, like titles of novels. There should also be no space between text and the footnote indication: Dear Whit,<sup>[1]</sup> '''not''' Dear Whit, <sup>[1]</sup> — these details are important, so be meticulous. Thanks. —[[User:Grlucas|Grlucas]] ([[User talk:Grlucas|talk]]) 11:15, 5 April 2019 (UTC)

There should also be no space between text and the footnote indication: Dear Whit,<sup>[1]</sup> '''not''' Dear Whit, <sup>[1]</sup> — these details are important, so be meticulous. Also, look at the [[Andre Deutsch, October 15, 1963|Deutsch letter]] again and how the footnotes are done: footnotes should be placed next to the items in the letter that they refer to — not all up front. Thanks. —[[User:Grlucas|Grlucas]] ([[User talk:Grlucas|talk]]) 11:21, 5 April 2019 (UTC)

:{{reply to|Grlucas}} Is this <nowiki>{{tl|NMletter}}</nowiki> any different than <nowiki>{{NMletter}}</nowiki>? Thanks. ~~([[User:Dmcgonagill|Dmcgonagill]] ([[User talk:Dmcgonagill|talk]]) 22:22, 14 April 2019 (UTC))
::{{reply to| Dmcgonagill}} The former one lets you show the template on the page: {{tl|NMletter}}. Use the latter one in the letters. —[[User:Grlucas|Grlucas]] ([[User talk:Grlucas|talk]]) 22:28, 14 April 2019 (UTC)


===Notes===
==Cite Button==
{{reflist}}
My sandbox does not have a "cite" button. Am I the only person with this issue?—[[User:ssimsjones|ssimsjones]] ([[User talk:ssimsjones|talk]]) 05:01, 6 April 2019 (UTC)
:{{reply to|ssimsjones}} You know, I never installed the visual editor here because I don't use it. This might be what you mean. I'm reluctant to do it, as I don't want to slow my install down any more. If many want the visual editor option, I might consider. Sorry for any trouble. —[[User:Grlucas|Grlucas]] ([[User talk:Grlucas|talk]]) 12:31, 7 April 2019 (UTC)
::{{reply to|Grlucas}} Thank You Dr. Lucas. I will work on submitting any references manually. With only a few weeks left, I'm not sure that everyone will want it installed. —[[User:ssimsjones|ssimsjones]] ([[User talk:ssimsjones|talk]]) 12:06, 7 April 2019 (UTC)
