Template:Note short footnote style 3 in use

This article uses footnotes in the regular style used for most Wikipedia articles. All full citations used for footnotes must appear in the section named References. Shortened footnotes may only be used to reference full citations in this same section in order to avoid duplication of information in cases where footnotes refer to the same source but different pages or with different annotation information.

Further information

Footnotes using identical citations should not use short footnotes and instead use reference names, typically using the <ref name="AuthorYYY"> syntax.
Per Wikipedia:Citing sources, please continue to maintain the same style of use when adding citations using the {{sfn}}, {{harvnb}} and <ref> syntax. Footnotes will be altered to fit this article's style if they do not conform to the following rule: The only cases where short footnotes are allowed is when a source has multiple footnotes to different pages or footnotes to the same source are unique in some other way such as due to quotations or annotations specific to a particular footnote. In these cases the full citation for the source appearing in the References section may be referred to by short footnotes using Template:sfn or similar template to make the footnote to the particular page, or indicate the quotation, annotation or other unique information particular to the footnote. Short footnotes referencing citations in any other section violates this style. See the article for usage examples. If you have any questions or problems, please ask on the talk page and someone will be happy to help you. Thank you.
