Welcome to Wikipedia. We welcome and appreciate your contributions, including your edits to Auxiliary Units, but we cannot accept original research. Original research refers to material—such as facts, allegations, and ideas—for which no reliable, published sources exist; it also encompasses combining published sources in a way to imply something that none of them explicitly say. Please be prepared to cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. Thank you. Dl2000 (talk) 15:27, 26 September 2015 (UTC)

Linking short citations

Thank you for your edit to Croome Court.

In it you added a paragraph:

During the Second World War it was requisitioned for the Dutch royal family, including Queen Juliana of the Netherlands, who were escaping the Nazi occupation of the Netherlands, There is, however, no evidence that the family ever stayed at Croome, preferring a London residence.

which contained the short citation:

To support it you added the long citation:

• {{Cite book|title=The King's Private Army|last=Stewart|first=Andrew|publisher=Helion and Company|year=2015|isbn=978-1-910777-28-2|location=Solihull|pages=}}
• Stewart, Andrew (2015). The King's Private Army. Solihull: Helion and Company. ISBN 978-1-910777-28-2.

However if the two are to be linked you need to add an additional parameter ref=harv to the long citation.

But there is a further twist. {{Cite book}} uses citation style called CS1. All the citations in the References section are using a different template called {{Citation}} which uses citation style called CS2. The template {{Citation}} has the parameter ref=harv set by default — which is the reason ref=harv does not appear in the other citations in that section. The list of references ought to conform either to style CS1 or CS2 because visually they are slightly different; for example one uses commas as the field separator while the other uses full stops (see Help:Citation Style 1#Display options).

So I am going to alter the long citation you added from {{Cite book}} to {{Citation}} which will fix the visual style differences and will also fix the link (if you click on the short citation above you will see what I mean):

• {{Citation|title=The King's Private Army|last=Stewart|first=Andrew|publisher=Helion and Company|year=2015|isbn=978-1-910777-28-2|location=Solihull|pages=}}
• Stewart, Andrew (2015), The King's Private Army, Solihull: Helion and Company, ISBN 978-1-910777-28-2

I am also going to move those sources added to the References section that do not support a short citation into a "Further reading" section.
