When you put a "<nowiki><BR>. . .<BR></nowiki>" in between text, it indicates the preceding text is from a different paragraph. But you seem to include it in random places. You also seem to break off quotes with a "..." for no apparent reason eg. [http://wikiislam.net/w/index.php?title=Muslim_Statistics_-_Health_and_Disability&curid=12589&diff=101838&oldid=101079&rcid=112240#HIV.2FAIDS here] you could have simply added the remaining text [(Butler, 2003)]. This leaves quotes looking butchered. Nobody will trust quotes that look like that. Please sort this out. Also please archive each reference here: http://www.webcitation.org/archive .

:I am not familiar with that service, can you insert them? Also what is the guidelines behind it?

::1. No. You are a regular editor so you cannot seriously expect other editors to clean up after your edits indefinitely. Using WebCite is simple. Click on the link I provided. Paste the URL to archive in the first box and your email address in the second box. Then click "submit". After a few moments, you will be given the archived link. The service does not keep you email address, but if you would like, you could always put in a false email address. | |||
::2. Guidelines are simple; every reference should be archived. | |||
::3. The core articles were written before we started to archive references. Plus, references on core articles are not really needed because they are simply summaries of other articles. [[User:Sahabah|--Sahabah]] ([[User talk:Sahabah|talk]]) 10:54, 28 December 2013 (PST) | |||
