+ There are some times where a mix of reference methods are used, for example by an Editor who updates some basic references to detailed, but doesn't finish or doesn't have all of the listed basic references. In that case, detailed ones (as laid by the<nowiki> <references /></nowiki> tag, take precedence over basic/specified ones and is listed immediately under the '''References''' heading. The term '''Also:''' then leads into the more general references.

+ <u>References</u>
+ * ''House Davion'', p. 117, "Unfinished Book Movement"<br>
+ * ''Handbook: House Davion'', pp. 146-147, "Unfinished Book Movement"
