Some Wikipedia conversion tricks
One of the most annoying and non-obvious things is that CZ's software requires a reference to appear in full the first time (e.g., <ref name=Foo>xxx</ref> before you can start using the shorthand <ref name=Foo/>) WP is order-independent.
More as policy than syntax, we don't expect knowledgeable people to source every statement as long as another reasonably competent person would find the same reference. In like manner, it's rarely necessary to put several citations on the same sentence.
