:::::There is no way for you to have known of a policy, because it hasn't really been written in one place yet, but separated in various discussions throughout the site. The ideal article would have the ref marks behind each relevant sentence(s), with the the specific page numbers for that fact. '''<nowiki>The <references /></nowiki>''' tag would be placed under the '''==References==''' section, which would cause all refs to show up. I think your way of doing it is a step better than only listing the title at the bottom, but it would still need to be copyedited by an Editor who seeks out that level of conformity for the articles (like myself). At the least, you've given that follow-on Editor the pages he needs to find the appropriate ref, so he can fix it. Lastly, there is no need to repeat the title by itself, if you've properly ref'ed it in the article itself. (Ex: ''TacOps'', pp. 133-134 would mean ''TacOps'' would not need to be listed again by itself.) When a book is listed down there, its because it hasn't yet been properly ref'ed in the article.
