Practice with references: Use of ref begin and ref end
below is some text copied from Sanpaz to learn better ways to handle references. publication of the critical state concept (Roscoe, Schofield & Wroth 1958) harv error: multiple targets (2×): CITEREFRoscoeSchofieldWroth1958 (help). Roscoe obtained his undergraduate degree in mechanical engineering[1] and his experiences trying to create tunnels to escape when held as a prisoner of war by the Nazis during WWII introduced him to soil mechanics[1].

Practice with references: Simple example article section, referenced
Text subsection
For any block of text you create, each non-common knowledge statement requires a citation (where this opening sentence is common knowledge). After each statement, you use HTML markup language with "ref" and "/ref" to mark the beginning and end of the references, in each case encompassed by angles brackets.[1] The citation that appears can be in extended,[2] or linear form (linear being the least wasting of editing space).[3] When a citation appears a second time, it may be referenced like this.[1] Always to remember to include page numbers, or other editors will tag the shortcoming.[4][page needed] The "cite" markup can be followed by "journal," "book," "web," etc., as shown here;[5] books that appears multiple times, and therefore reference multiple page numbers, can be presented thus, this time referencing page 4.[6]: 4

After a week-long meeting of international experts, the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), which is part of the World Health Organization (WHO), today classified diesel exhaust as probably carcinogenic to humans (Group 1), based on enough evidence that exposure is associated with an increased risk of lung cancer.

- I looked at your comments, but am not sure I agree. Please note that wikipedia policy is that secondary sources (e.g., review papers and advanced text books by highly regarded experts) are probably the best sources for encyclopedic content.Blkutter (talk) 17:37, 28 November 2010 (UTC)

Comment from fellow faculty editor
Rewrote the lead of the DG article. Please, add any sources and information that you can (but help me stop the pattern of adding sources without information). If you bring new sources—bringing even one would increase the sourcing by 100%—feel free to modify existing text, radically, so it matches your sources. (Unsourced text here has no "rights" or authority.) Thanks for any future effort there.
Also, you appear to be using your Talk page as a Sandbox, and this has some downsides, have a look at Wikipedia:Sandbox for more information. Also, I inserted reflist after each reference that you put in place with markup, so that your sources appear near to the text to which it pertains. (I hope this is helpful.)
See the new Section I created for you above, entitled "Practice with references: Simple example article section, referenced" for an example of how to easily create a referenced sentence or section.

Soil mechanics
Hello Prof. Kutter. We've met briefly at a conference last month. I've recently come across your brilliantly written article here on soil mechanics while trying to go through various articles on civil engineering and see what I can translate to other languages. I'm very impressed by the clarity of the article. Thank you for donating your great expertise in geotechnical engineering to Wikipedia! Deryck C. 19:57, 23 August 2018 (UTC)
