Excessive citations in election article

Having seen what you did in the 2009 election article, I have tried to follow your example in tidying the excessive citations in South African municipal election, 2011. Please take a look to see if I've handled it correctly. Roger (talk) 12:46, 24 May 2011 (UTC)

Yup, that looks perfect to me. The possible additional feature is to start with a small explanation after <ref>, for example:

<ref>The following articles are all opinion pieces that appeared in newspapers in the aftermath of...

*{{cite news|title=Article 1|url=http://www.newsA.com/article1}}

*{{cite news|title=Article 2|url=http://www.newsB.com/article2}}

*{{cite news|title=Article 3|url=http://www.newsC.com/article3}}</ref>

Which gives:

Inviting you to WikiAfrica Incubator!

Hey Gk Sa,

WikiAfrica invites you to support the Africa Incubator

WikiAfrica is pleased to invite you as a self-declared African Wikipedian to evaluate the Africa Incubator. WikiAfrica has created the Africa Incubator to support and assist new authors, as they create their first articles and learn the ins and outs of contributing to Wikipedia.

The Africa Incubator is a ‘soft landing’ for new authors to develop articles that relate to Africa. It assists them in becoming compliant and knowledgeable of Wikipedia principles and rules. Based within the Wikipedia framework, the Africa Incubator is fully interactive and enables feedback, assistance and forums.

This is where we need your help! For the Africa Incubator to be successful, it needs the intervention, interaction and experience of Incubator Mentors. We are looking for a pool of active experienced Wikipedians to consistently participate in ’owning’ the Africa Incubator. Incubator Mentors will assist new comers through the editing process. They will also help test and expand the Africa Incubator, and will play a vital role in encouraging newcomers to be Wikipedians for life

Please visit WikiAfrica Incubator to give us your honest feedback and evaluation. WikiAfrica is a ground-breaking project that is designed to Africanise Wikipedia by generating and expanding 30,000 articles over two years. Find out more about this project here WikiAfrica. To get involved, contact Francis [wikipedian@wikiafrica.net] Twitter: twitter.com/#!/wikiafrica Facebook: www.facebook.com/WikiAfrica
