I added another example of how it is possible to do this, but using {{Wpd}} completely (it is missing source citation information). I noticed that the reference that they created is pointing to an archive version of the article. I am not sure why this might be and it does not seem like a good idea without using what should be the permalink. If you look at the the "Coded by hand" example has multiple "amp;" following the '&' character. This shows what happens when switching in and out of Wikitext & WYSIWYG (or the other way around) . . . only when the '&' is within a <ref> </ref> pair. Thomas_Lerman 17:23, 22 March 2010 (UTC)

If you view the cite this page link from the article you will see that David Dilts is using the Chicago style. That being the case I do not think the example using the Wpd template is good enough for a full bibliographic citation. What has happened to code by hand example shows that the problem is still existing but only when the rich text editor is used. --Steve 17:41, 22 March 2010 (UTC)
