In response to your feedback

Usually someone posts a bunch of links on your talkpage when you make your first edits. But perhaps the structure you recommend would be better. Thanks for your input.

Citations

The documentation for WP:REFNAME and Template:Rp should help you understand how to reference the same source multiple times in one article. Thanks for all the contributions you have already made fixing citations. --Footwarrior (talk) 02:41, 30 January 2012 (UTC)

Wicked problem

Sorry StarryGrandma, but I have failed your Good article nomination of Wicked problem. There are some good aspects to it, but a major problem is the use of lists. As well as presenting a copyright problem, they also don't make for good prose 9especially in the number that they are presented there). I would suggest converting them to prose, expanding the "Problem Structuring Methods" and then renominating or sending to peer review. Don't be too discouraged, getting an article to Good status can be difficult. AIRcorn (talk) 23:45, 10 May 2012 (UTC)

AWB

You started a discussion at Wikipedia talk:AutoWikiBrowser on cleanup of ref tags. Nobody else seems to recognise your use of the pipe in the ref markup, and so we perhaps cannot understand your argument. Perhaps you could chime in again and help us out?
