reference formatting i don't know eactly where you learn how to format references but your method does not comply to any style i've seen on this site in the many years i've been editing i have properly referenced this article with links and not multiple periods why and adding author's names when that only should be used for books please be aware that the dates are formatted to international standards date followed by month and year as it done by the rest of the world i have reverted your unconstructive formatting of reference to allow a consistent style that is easy for the reader please discuss
