How to create a citation
At the end of the sentence which needs the citation, please include the reference within "ref" tags. For example:
Columbia College has 10,000 students.<ref>[http://www.columbia.edu/statistics Columbia statistics page]</ref>
These citations will appear at the bottom of the article in a "references" section. If a references section has not already been included, please insert the following at the end of the article, but above any "external links" section or "categories":
== References == <references />
