I'm getting an error that there is an unmatched reference tag on Bill Smitherman's profile. I'm sure it is there, but i cannot for the life of me find it! Anyone able to help and see if they can find it.
Thank you in advance.

I'm unable to view the edit screen because you currently have an unsaved draft.

I think I've fixed it. It seems to have been spaces before "=" in 'ref name='1940 census'".

that did it! Thank you so much for your help!
You're welcome.
Great catch, Ian!
This false error caused by spaces in refs is going to be removed pretty soon -- I know it causes a lot of confusion.
good to know. Thank you
