These Wikipedia imports need to be done from the Wiki source, not the display... James A. Flippin 16:53, 21 June 2007 (CDT)

It's really irrelevant, James- only because what got imported only serves as a rough kind of outline, a placeholder, for what's to come. By the time the article is done, there will very likely be nothing left of the old Wikipedia article. Bacteriophage is an approved articles, and the field is a complicated one, many artices will be worked on a bit at a time- but in concert. It's a creative process that needs to incubate. Yopu are right that we don't want to be a mirror of WP (especially a cracked one) but these imports by John are in good faith made by an expert in the subject. It's ok, really, to let them sit for a while -you will see good articles come from them.[Everybody's very busy now, so it's one step at a time.

It's really relevant, because it makes it very difficult to edit the articles. If you just copy and paste the display, all you get for a footnote is a raised number, not the actual footnote. James A. Flippin 17:01, 21 June 2007 (CDT)
James, how about showing us how to import this article so that the references work correctly. --Matt Innis (Talk) 17:09, 21 June 2007 (CDT)
It's currently impossible for this page, since it no longer even exists at Wikipedia (they seem to not like lists of journal articles). In general though, it is most helpful to go to the page, say Phage ecology, click edit this page, copy the source in the edit box, and paste it into the edit box at Citizendium. If you compare the original import and current revision, you can see the difference clearly. James A. Flippin 17:16, 21 June 2007 (CDT)
