I just edited the above to put back the {{Reflist}} template. This template is the correct way to list references that are coded in the article with the <ref></ref> tags. Thank you. – ukexpat (talk) 15:40, 22 July 2008 (UTC)Reply

Self-referencing

edit

You can't source yourself. You need a reliable third party to come to conclusions, or else it constitutes WP:Original Research and/or WP:Synthesis, this is part of what the Failed verification tag means. Please don't remove {{Failed verification|date=July 2008}} without fixing the reference- that constitutes vandalism. (I realize you're new to Wikipedia, so I apologize if it seems like I'm biting your head off. The fact of the matter is because of your COI with this article and Wikipedia's goals, you really need to tread carefully) DaRkAgE7[Talk] 03:50, 24 July 2008 (UTC)Reply
