Proper way of using same source several imes in one profile?

Question

I am manager of [[Aske-57|Elizabeth Fairfax ]] and someone has very helpfully loaded many sources. Well a few sources referenced many times. Suggestions demands correction     Help

No clear idea what Suggestions wants me (or you) to do.

Answer 1

It is probably because the ref name="Brown129" is defined twice.

Answer 2

When you need to use the same source multiple times in the same profile, you can give it a name and thereafter just reference the name. So for example, for the first reference, it would be something like this: <ref name='name'>source citation</ref>. Then when you need to reference it again, you use the name <ref name='name'/> instead of the full source twice. The name can be anything you want, it must be unique, contain letters, and is case sensitive.

I hope this helps.
