Reference format

This article now uses

list-defined references
. This means that the details and metadata of all reference citations are collected in the references section, and each is identified by a reference name. Within the body of the article, citations are made with markup such as <ref name="fwhy" />. This format means that the details of the citation meta data do not clog the body of the article when editing. It also encourages proper reuse of citations.

Please retain this format when adding reference citations to this article, unless a consensus to change it is developed on this page. Thank you.

Also, currently, all references are cited using
