Testing results
I added another example of how it is possible to do this, but using Wpd completely (it is missing source citation information). I noticed that the reference that they created is pointing to an archive version of the article. I am not sure why this might be and it does not seem like a good idea without using what should be the permalink. If you look at the the "Coded by hand" example has multiple "amp;" following the '&amp;' character. This shows what happens when switching in and out of Wikitext &amp; WYSIWYG (or the other way around). . . only when the '&amp;' is within a pair. Thomas_Lerman 17:23, 22 March 2010 (UTC)


 * If you view the cite this page link from the article you will see that David Dilts is using the Chicago style. That being the case I do not think the example using the Wpd template is good enough for a full bibliographic citation. What has happened to code by hand example shows that the problem is still existing but only when the rich text editor is used. --Steve 17:41, 22 March 2010 (UTC)
 * I agree that the full citation is not being used correctly in that example. What I am suggesting is maybe expanding the template to create the citation. I admit that I do not know that much about the different styles. Is showing possibly an old version of the article what is suggested? Anyway, back to the problem . . . I saw 1 (valid '&amp;') + 3 (invalid "amp;"). When I edited and went into Wikitext, I see 1+4. Thomas_Lerman 17:51, 22 March 2010 (UTC) P.S. Coming in for this P.S., I see 1+4 displayed and in the Editor's box when hit the "  " in the toolbar with 1+5 when going into Wikitext. Going to WYSIWYG still shows 1+5 and going back to Wikitext shows 1+6. In other words, switching from WYSIWYG to Wikitext is where the problem occurs.
