[edit] wikipedia is correct

i cannot understand anything in this article. i think it requires cleanup by somebody who knows anything about this.

[edit] Something more like this perhaps...

Cross-referencing is merely a way of linking one article or text to another in such a way that it is easy to find the other piece of work. Cross-referencing is usually employed to either verify claims made by an author or to link to another piece of work that is of particular interest. Wikipedia uses this principal to create its vast interlinking article database.


[edit] References

I think this article lacks references (without the oozing irony). Can someone add some references, or even explain why a word definition takes up its own article? It would be nice to see everything neatly sourced! Thanks. Also, until this, someone should add in the unref tag. Josh Froelich 04:33, 16 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] First Sentence

It is now: A cross-reference (noun) is an instance within a document of referring to information elsewhere (either within the same work or in a separate work).

It would be better without the "of":

A cross-reference (noun) is an instance within a document ***of*** referring to information elsewhere (either within the same work or in a separate work).

Then it would be:

A cross-reference (noun) is an instance within a document referring to information elsewhere (either within the same work or in a separate work).

What do you think?
