Customize page layout

Are you sure pasting the entire CSS into that article is the best approach? I'm just wondering, because the page is really long now. - Amgine / talk meta 18:13, 30 December 2005 (UTC)Reply

About cite/cite.php

[edit]

I am a Wikipedian who has written quite a number of chemical engineering articles. I'm no computer guru ... so please bear with me. I have been using <ref name=whatever>some reference</ref> to define my references and then <references/> to get them displayed in the References section.

I notice that when I use a reference only one time, the vertical arrow in the Reference section listing is very thin and spindly and hard-to-see. But when I use a reference multiple times, the vertical arrow and the accompanying superscripts (a b c ..) are quite bold and really stand out well. My question is why can't the arrow for a single-use reference look just as bold and well-defined as the arrow for a multiple-use reference?

I am writing you because I note in the History for cite/cite.php that you have been very active recently in developing that article, which I must say needs to be completely re-written by a non-computer guru so that we ordinary mortals can understand it. It is virtually incomprehensible at the moment. In the Wikipedia, I am [[User:mbeychok]]. I don't have an account here. - 72.194.125.169 04:38, 23 April 2006 (UTC)Reply
