Help me!

Please help me with...I haven't found advice on this though granted I haven't combed all corners! I have plenty of sources and can footnote all facts and assertions but not sure yet in what exact order facts will appear. Is there a way to indicate and format a footnote with no numbers? for example all "0" as place holders to be fill further in draft? Or should I just get draft in a more final form and worry about it then? That is probably what I'll do if don't hear otherwise.

Are you referring to Hugh Bryan? If so, this is in the mainspace, and as such, is not a draft. I assume you are asking a question about references, the little blue numbers in square brackets. More help on this can be found at referencing for beginners. You can also click "[show]" on the right of the bar below to read more.

Visual inline citation guide

Formatting references using inline citations

All information in Wikipedia articles should be verified by citations to reliable sources. Our preferred method of citation is using the "cite.php" form of inline citations, using the <ref></ref> elements. Using this method, each time a particular source is mined for information (don't copy word-for-word!), a footnote is placed in the text ("inline"), that takes one to the detail of the source when clicked, set forth in a references section after the text of the article. In brief, anywhere you want a footnote to appear in a piece of text, you place an opening <ref> tag followed by the text of the citation which you want to appear at the bottom of the article, and close with a </ref> tag. Note the closing slash ("/"). For multiple use of a single reference, the opening ref tag is given a name, like so: <ref name="name"> followed by the citation text and a closing </ref> tag. Each time you want to use that footnote again, you simply use the first element with a slash, like so: <ref name="name" />. In order for these references to appear, you must tell the software where to display them, using either the code <references/> or, most commonly, the template, {{Reflist}} which can be modified to display the references in columns using {{Reflist|colwidth=30em}}. Per our style guidelines, the references should be displayed in a separate section denominated "References" located after the body of the article.
Inline citation code; what you type in 'edit mode'	What it produces when you save
Two separate citations.<ref>Citation text.</ref><ref>Citation text2.</ref> Multiple<ref name="multiple">Citation text3.</ref> citation<ref name="multiple" /> use.<ref name="multiple" /> == References == {{Reflist}}	Two separate citations. Multiple citation use. References_________________
Templates that can be used between <ref>...</ref> tags to format references {{Citation}} • {{Cite web}} • {{Cite book}} • {{Cite news}} • {{Cite journal}} • Others • Examples

Basically, anytime you want to add a reference, you put it between two <ref> </ref> tags. Then at the bottom of the article, in a separate "References" section, you add the code {{reflist}}. I'm also going to move the article to the draftspace so you have more time to improve the article. I would suggest you also read Your First Article.
