Fixed your footnotes at Draft:Gales Point Wildlife Sanctuary, please note how I did it

edit

In this link you can see how I fixed your formatting on your draft. Note how I used the "ref" and "/ref" tags to make your links into footnotes, and how I made a "reflist" to list the footnotes. Just keep that in mind as ways to format. MatthewVanitas (talk) 21:51, 8 March 2017 (UTC)Reply
