{{reply to |Grlucas}} I seem to have a better handle on everything today (finally!). I think I have corrected the citations, except for two of which I have not been able to figure out how to add the second set of pages. Please review what I have done and let me know if I am on track and how to fix the page errors for Adams and Jung. Thank you for being so patient with me while I figure out what I am supposed to be working on.--[[User:Dillbug|Dillbug]] ([[User talk:Dillbug|talk]]) 16:03, 7 April 2019 (UTC)

:{{reply to|Dillbug}} Good deal. It just takes practice and persistence. For the citations: there are extra numbers at the end of three that seems to be page numbers. Check those. Also, remove the quotation marks in titles. You see they are unnecessary as the software will insert them if they are needed. All citations, too, must have “|ref=harv” in them in order for the shortened footnote form to work. Finally, you need to see to the odd Mailer reference (e.g., <code><nowiki>Mailer & 1964-65, p. 83.</nowiki></code>) that is used a lot but (1) doesn't have a corresponding entry in works cited, and (2) uses a span of dates which will not work with sfn. I assume this is ''AAD''? If so, it just needs to be 1965, as that's when it was published. —[[User:Grlucas|Grlucas]] ([[User talk:Grlucas|talk]]) 19:17, 7 April 2019 (UTC)
