I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your messages on discussion pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically insert your username and the date.

It looks like you've created the same article at two different titles, War Of Attrition (horse) and War of Attrition (horse). You don't need to do that, because of WP:REDIRECTS. To use a redirect, just replace all the text on the page with #REDIRECT [[new page title]], and anyone trying to view the page with that title will automatically be sent to the target of the redirect. Happy editing, shoy (reactions) 07:31, 30 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

References

Once you've used a name in a reference e.g. <ref name=Example>details of ref</ref> then for subsequent uses you can use <ref name=Example/> rather than <ref name=Example></ref>. Also if the reference is at the end of a sentence, or clause, then the ref goes after the fullstop or comma or other punctuation mark. NtheP (talk) 18:06, 1 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
