Draft citation issues

Hey Danielle, I just took a look at those messy citations, and I figured out what was wrong with the Palmer one. Turns out the "wizard" for citations doesn't tag them with a "name," which is necessary in order to cite a source multiple times. So, in order to "name" a source, inside your first ref tag, you need to put "name="name"; the opening tag, then, would look like this:

<ref name ="name">
instead of just:

<ref>
You'll still close the tag the same way, with "</ref>". You can see the actual tags in use in the edit view of Brittany's Talk page, where your draft is.

That should fix things up; still not sure what's going on with the disappearing source in the reflist, but I'll keep looking into it. Just drop me an e-mail if you have any questions.
