Draft:Makeda Cheatom
| Submission declined on 6 July 2020 by Timtrent (talk). We need prose, please, not a set of lists.
Your referencing scheme took a lot of work to create, but you have misunderstood. The citation itself is to be by the point cited. What you have done is achieved duplicating your list of references. I'm sorry this means changing your diligent work, but, since you will be redrafting the article, this is a great time to do this. I have not reviewed past these two points.
