Citation clarification

Citations in the History section should be clarified so that one can tell which source provides what information. Two large paragraphs from three sources should have more specific citations. Please place in-line instead of after the end of the 2000+ words. -- Yoda8myhead 15:09, 22 February 2009 (UTC)

Right I've added the references next to the appropriate part of the text and I hope cleared up the citation issue. One quick question on citation. If the bulk of a paragraph comes from one source (in this case the campaign setting) but parts of it come from another source is it preferable to reference the primary source source at the end of the paragraph or every time it is referenced? Which of two examples is better in terms of citation?
Example 1
                                blah blah blah blah.(ref campaign setting) Blah blah blah
                                blah blah blah blah. (ref other source) Blah blah blah blah
                                blah blah blah blah blah blah (ref campaign setting)
Example 2
                                blah blah blah blah. Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah
                                blah blah blah blah. (ref other source) Blah blah blah blah
                                blah blah blah blah blah blah (ref campaign setting)

Example 1 is preferred. This way, if someone else adds a sentence somewhere, or moves something from anywhere in the paragraph, the citation can move with it and nothing gets separated from its source. -- Yoda8myhead 22:20, 22 February 2009 (UTC)
