Further information

Per Wikipedia:Citing sources, please continue to maintain the same style of use when adding citations. Footnotes will be altered to fit this article's style if they do not conform to the following rule: All full citations should appear in the Cited sources section, and follow whatever the article's convention is for making footnotes to the cited work. See the article for usage examples. The typical convention for an article is to use a short footnote template such as {{sfn}}, {{harvnb}} but plain text could be the convention to be followed. If you have any questions or problems, please ask on the talk page and someone will be happy to help you. Thank you.
