What is the best way to add an additional citation to a book already cited? Also, is there a format for adding a citation to an existing Wikipedia page?

Gives me something to do on Boxing Day!  :-)

{helpme} Yes, thanks, read that already. Can't find the answer which is why I'm asking here. Or i just cite things twice, which looks clumsy. Wikidwitch 18:27, 26 December 2006 (UTC)

This could be a tricky question, since there are various citation methods used in Wikipedia. An example of what you want to do would be handy, but maybe WP:FOOT#Citing_a_footnote_more_than_once answers your question. Use {helpme} again if you get stuck.--Commander Keane 00:53, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

Thanks - I think this is what I'm after! I'll shout if I get stuck again. Wikidwitch 01:20, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Template:Location map Greater Manchester

Hi, we are trying to create a unified place template for all UK locations, and attempting to incorporate the {{Location map Greater Manchester}} template into the code as we have already done with {{Location map United Kingdom}} and {{Location map Greater London}}. However, our tests are producing somewhat sporadic results, with the dots appearing far to the left of their intended location. See User:Djr_xi/Stretford or User:MRSC/Infobox UK place/Oldham for examples. I don't suppose you would be able to figure out what's going wrong? Regards, DJR (T) 23:22, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

Never mind, I think I've fixed it myself. It appears your latitude/longitudinal references were a little bit out. DJR (T) 23:54, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

hi glad you got it sorted. Sorry my coords were a bit out!  :o) Wikidwitch 01:12, 21 February 2007 (UTC)
