Hi David, just read through this quickly and noticed the references you are adding cite specific page numbers. Do you think we need such detailed cites? It may be fine to just have the same reference cited multiple times. Chris Day (Talk) 23:02, 8 February 2007 (CST)

I just made an example edit, please feel free to revert if that's not you want. Just want to make sure you know the option is available. Certainly this could be done for the first two uses of the bioessay article since they are literally identical even to the page number. Likewise i added the template to the stem cell picture you uploaded earlier, again, as i was not sure if you knew that option was available. Chris Day (Talk) 23:10, 8 February 2007 (CST)

Thank you for informing me of the existence of inline reference syntax that allows multiple occurrences of the same reference number. The specific page numbers may be useful to the reader who wishes to review the source material in the journals cited. However, where the references are entirely identical, they can be combined.

Those recent edits makes a lot more sense. Certainly reduces the redundancy in the refererence section. Chris Day (Talk) 22:44, 11 February 2007 (CST)
