I know of two problems.

First, I am trying to cite Comins for information in the first two paragraphs but I don't know how to use Wiki markup so the endnotes aren't showing up correctly.

Secondly, I cited an entry I wrote in an encyclopedia for the last paragraph. I'm not intentionally citing myself. This was the easiest way for me to find the information.

In that encyclopedia entry I cited a source which has the information I've used in this article. I am thinking I should cite that source in this article. If I do that, I don't have the page number of the original source handy for the information in this article which was included in my encyclopedia entry. If I cite the source from my encyclopedia entry in this article, then should I remove the reference to my encyclopedia entry? I think that would make sense.

I have now found the page number in the source I cite in my encyclopedia entry which provides the information I used in this article. Gary Leonard Cameron 16:45, 1 May 2012 (UTC)
