[1], [2]) has been placed at the end of the sentence which links to the Reference sub heading of your article where you will find the material you referenced listed.

A reference can also be made by typing a standard bibliographical citation in the area under the == References == part of your edit box. Use the Mark Up signs <ref>….</ref> before and after your citation. E.g. <ref>Lawrie, Margaret, (1970), Myths and Legends of the Torres Strait, ''University Queensland Press'', pg 2</ref>.

If you are referencing a book, please add the ISBN number at the end of the reference. Wikipedia will automatically add a link from the ISBN number to a search page where the viewer can do a library catalogue search to find a copy of the book nearest them.
