[edit] Citing sources
There are templates to formate citations in a pre-defined style for one, eg templates {{cite journal}}, {{cite web}}. In addition PubMed is a useful resource for abstracts of biomedical research and there are tools to automatically create the citation template markup from just the PubMed asbtract number - see Wikipedia:WikiProject Clinical medicine/Template for medical conditions#References .2A. As an example, I've used Pubmed & tools to expand on the details of the citations you provided in Oral contraceptiveDavid Ruben Talk 14:27, 19 May 2006 (UTC)
Thanks...my HTML is a little rusty. I haven't had to type in it in a long time. Good to hear that they have templates.Jdbrown1998 14:32, 19 May 2006 (UTC)
