Where to put and how to use referencing, when you only have one source for an article (which has many sections or paragraphs)?

  1. Inline references (footnotes) for every paragraph
    1. Pros: It's easy to add new fact to an article, using a different source
    2. Cons: Clutters up the text with many footnotes
  2. Just put the source at the bottom (no footnotes)
    1. Pros: Doesn't clutter up the text (obviously!)
    2. Cons: If new info is added from a different source, it's hard to say to where each reference is pointing

Anyone recognize this problem? --Morgan 00:19, 13 December 2010 (UTC)Reply[reply]
