 Footnote formatting 

In general it's considered preferable to combine multiple citations of a single reference into one footnote.  This is discussed at Wikipedia:Manual of Style (footnotes)#Reference name (naming a ref tag so it can be used more than once).  In this article I did that recently with the ""50 State Quarters Report""  look at footnote 7 here   but after that another editor separated them out again, here.  Also, it's better to link to the reference from the name of the reference being cited, like I did, rather than have the link be a separate unlabelled number like the other editor did.  So, I think the footnotes should be combined again, the way I did it.  Anyone else have an opinion on this? —  (Talk) "
