User blog comment:DevonAndersen/How To Edit References Section/@comment-1874176-20110728173705

The refernces are included by typing after the thing you want to put it on; Carly's birthday for example says in the infobox line "July 24, 1994 (age 17) ". In the references section, there is only the template. It collects ALL the tags and lists them.

If you want to change the text of a reference, you have to edit the thing in the main text of the article.
