Help on unusual paragraphs

Hi and welcome to Wikisource. This post is to offer help if wished, in case you come some across unusual formats with which you would like some direction.

I noticed that at the beginning of April you selected to proofread THIS, AND THE FOLLOWING PAGE with unusual and complex references which quite possibly will not occur again in such a combination. Starting with the first page, it contains a reference spanning two pages, and the same reference has an additional font size reduction. Then, on the second page there is a new reference.

When there is a reference spanning multiple pages the codes used are <ref name=xxx></ref> on the first page and <ref follow=xxx></ref> on the following page(s. These are placed below the end of the page text. Other, additional references are placed in the body of text and the two are displayed properly.

We can also reduce the reference text font size using a font template, but the end result should be checked on the main namespace transclusion if possible AS IT CAN BE SEEN ON THE BOTTOM OF THE PAGE HERE. I hope this helps and and that you don't consider this as meddling. :-) — Ineuw talk 04:56, 26 April 2013 (UTC)

P.S: We use {{smallrefs}} throughout the PSM project.— Ineuw talk 04:59, 26 April 2013 (UTC)

Browser spell check

Hi, sorry to bring it to your attention, but in some of the pages you were proofreading in Popular Science Monthly, several scan errors were overlooked. May I ask which browser are you using? Since I have all major browsers installed, and if you don't have a spell check, I can help. — Ineuw talk 16:00, 19 March 2016 (UTC)
