(1) Swallowed d
(1) Swallowed d
Under the "Creating the References section [sic for Section] the first line contains a "swallowed d":
Under the "Creating the References section [sic for Section]" the first line contains a "swallowed d":
:"References sections should be place[sic for 'placed'] in all articles below the . . . ."
:"References sections should be place[sic for 'placed'] in all articles below the . . . ."
::In this article the titles of the same order are inconsistent in style. A decision should be made as to capitalization: Choose a system and stay with it. For example, one may choose to capitalize only the first word of a title or one may choose to capitalize all the words in the title, except articles and prepositions. In the above case the title should be either "Creating the references section" or "Creating the References Sections." Then all the same level titles should conform.

(3) Lack of number agreement, subject and predicate; misplaced parentheses
:Again, under the "Creating the References section [sic for Section]," one reads:
::"Keep an eye out for articles with references ([sic] which, as previously mentioned, are identifiable by the superscript text and link color) [sic] but does [sic for "do"] not display the references or displays [sic] them not inside the References subsection."
:::The antecedent of "which" is "articles"; thus "which" is plural. Therefore, the predicate of "which" should also be plural; "do," not "does"; "display," not displays. The "(" before "which" should be moved so that the sentence makes sense when the parenthesis is removed: Suggested correction:
::::Keep an eye out for articles with references which (as previously mentioned) are identifiable by the superscript text and link-color but do not display the references or do not display them inside the References subsection.
::::The hypen in "link-color" is suggested since as written the words may give the impression that "link" is a verb with direct object "color.
