I have corrected your edit to [[]] . Please note that when adding the fact tag that the month needs to be spelled out completely. Your edit was <nowiki> {{fact|date=Sept 2008}} <nowiki> it should have been <nowiki> {{fact|date=September 2008}} <nowiki> Using Sept adds the article to the non-existant category [[:Category:Articles with unsourced statements since Sept 2008]] instead of the correct category [[:Category:Articles with unsourced statements since September 2008]]. Just thought you might be interested. ~~~~

References - footnotes

Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners

Footnotes:

Place a <ref> ... </ref> where you want a footnote reference number to appear in an article—type the text of the note between the ref tags.
Place the ~~<references~~ /> {{reflist}} tag in a "Notes" or "References" section near the end of the article—the list of notes will be generated here.

To use the same footnote more than once:

The first time you use the reference, put <ref name="blah"> ... </ref>

Later, you can just put <ref name="blah" />
