Hi, Thanks for the welcome note. I am definitely new and do have a question.
How do I cite a reference with a footnote in the text and then below in the references section?
or am I supposed to say (Miller and Martin 2004) in the text?
Thanks!

Sorry, there are three questions:
1. I am working on an entry on the topic of Ruling Queens and I have come across some different name spellings in two very recent publications for one of the Queens of Yaxchilan--Lady K'abal Xook. For my entry, which will be a stand alone page, I am inclined to use that of Martin and Grube 2008 in their Chronicle of Maya Queens and Kings, however Josserand's publication of 2007 (The Missing Heir at Yaxchilan: Literary Analysis of a Maya Historical Puzzle, In Latin American Antiquity vol 18(3) p 295-312) has the name as Lady Xok. Additionally, the existing Wikipedia page on this queen has it written as
Lady Xoc. So what to do?
2. This one is a question/note is with regard to the existing Lady Xoc page, it is in some need of updating, clarifying and correcting of the existing text, which I can do as I have time but I wanted to check first before re-writing parts.
3. Still having a problem with the formating of references. I've tried with what I have on my user page but it's not right yet and I don't know what I am doing wrong. Thanks

1.) It would be best to use a standardized spelling across the board- whichever one is better referenced should be used in both. So, if you think your reference is better, use your spelling and change the spelling of the other article. It would probably be best if you got consensus on that before you move it- start a discussion on the talk page and see what other people think.
2.) if you're not sure what needs updating, you can always ask on the talk page. Otherwise, be bold and make the changes. People can [and will] always revert your changes if they aren't right.
3.) The {{ Cite}} and its derivatives are an easy way to format references. Take a look at this list for an easy guide to using it: Wikipedia:Citation templates, and remember to write <ref></ref> around the template.

Hi there Archaeochica. I've just now (belatedly; apologies) responded to your original enquiries about which form of Maya personage names to use, at Dr. Hoopes' talk page where they were originally made — just follow this link. My responses are from the point of view of conventions within Mesoamerica/Maya articles specifically, which in practice may differ a little from the generic wikipedia conventions. Hope that helps. If any more questions/comments re Mesoamerica/Maya stylings (whether related to your KU assignment or in general), probably the best places to ask would be
Either way, it shouldn't take too long for one of us familiar with WP:MESO and your assignment to show up and answer as best we can. Best regards, -- cjllw ʘ TALK 07:08, 12 September 2008 (UTC)

References disappeared?!
Am I only allowed a certain amount of space on this page? I am asking because I have added the information boxes and now my references are not showing on on the actual page. They appear when I look at the edit page, but once it is saved, it isn't showing up. Thanks
