An exception to this rule is the placement of the references section (particular for longer articles) should the creator of an article desire to do so. The advantage of placing the references section at the end of the article is that it allows readers to examine Conservapedia's material first and places a higher prominence of key external articles which are often useful to the reader. Furthermore, longer articles which employ a large amount of footnotes often have a large section devoted to footnotes which would tend to very much obscure the useful "See also" and "External links" sections.
