Including references

Especially for references that are used frequently, it is useful to create a separate "article" with the reference, and to include this article in the list of references. This saves time in typing the reference, and when frequent references have their own "article", this means that they are easier to search.

Examples of references which have their own "articles" are Jespersen 1924, Bloomfield 1933, Lyons 1968.
