1. How do I auto number equations and refer to them?

2. when I insert the references/citations just at the place where they 1st occur, my text get cluttered with huge piece of citation body. So unreadable! Is there any way to keep citations body apart (somewhere above or below) and have only (relatively small) references within the text (as it looks when I cite the same ref. the 2nd or 3rd time)?

On 1, I do not know. I am not sure it is possible, the only way is to look at other articles. But please remember that this is encyclopedia, not a physics journal article, so that numbering equations may not necessarily be the best idea. On 2, will try to correct now in the article.--Ymblanter (talk) 12:29, 28 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, but in the article you already have references separated in the References section. I do not quite understand then what the problem is.--Ymblanter (talk) 12:31, 28 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I want the body of the reference (2..3 lines of text) to stay in the reference section below, not in the main text. This is because insertion of such a relatively big pieces of text makes text unreadable. I guess what I need is

Main page: Help:List-defined references

. I will try it now... EdwardGoldobin (talk) 12:49, 28 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

It works! EdwardGoldobin (talk) 13:01, 28 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, this is indeed an option.--Ymblanter (talk) 13:04, 28 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Ymblanter: Do you know of anyone/anyplace we can direct him to as far as q1 goes? WP:MATH is the only thing I'm aware of that addresses equations... other than that I have no ideas. — Coffee // have a cup // beans // 17:35, 28 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

No, not really. Wikiproject Math? I have never been there.--Ymblanter (talk) 17:44, 28 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

• In the article Varphi Josephson junction how do I attract attention of responsible guys to revisit the list of issues at the top of the page. I think some points are fixed now?

  Just remove them, if you do not specifically want someone's attention. That's you who added them anyway.--Ymblanter (talk) 13:19, 28 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  me? not! This was User:ColonelHenry I guess...

  Indeed, I am sorry. Anyway, now we have two issues left. When I have time, I can go through the text, but you can also try Wikipedia:Wikiproject Physics - it is unlikely though that there are experts there in Josephson effect.--Ymblanter (talk) 15:14, 28 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  I am expert by myself, therefore I contributed, but it is not clear to me how one can improve it? The simple explanation is given. Formulas come only in a more detailed explanation. So, if you feel that something is unclear, or some questions arise, ask me (may be on the corresponding Discussion page)

  I am not sure, do you realize who I am?--Ymblanter (talk) 15:34, 28 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  yes, I know your name well from the papers in the field. Although I am not sure whether we ever met personally or not ;-) Actually, I believe that you came to visit new topic about φ junctions because of professional interest. How did you discover it?

  Yes, we did meet on several occasions, but last time 10 years ago or so. I have Josephson effect in my watchlist, and I have seen your edit.--Ymblanter (talk) 16:48, 28 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
