Reference errors edit

This is for anyone who wants to correct them but specifically for Bkubik (as they may know best which titles are which). The "url" parameter in the citation template requires a title because that's how it generates the link. So if we have title = "something" and url = "example.com", the link generated would be something. Without the title, the template doesn't know how to make a link and so gives that warning on the page. :(

If you want to resolve that warning, you have to either provide a title (presuming the work you are referencing has titles for the individual sections) or remove the URL. In some cases the latter may be preferable--while it is nice to have archives of older sources available, it's often sufficient to provide a citation for a claim so that someone else could search and verify it. So for an old periodical, it is sufficient to provide the work, date, and page (and volume info, etc.). An archive url is not required. Let me know if you need any help clearing these up. Thanks.
