There seems to be some problem with the entries for:
(a) * Elliotson, John (April 1855). "On the claims of Dr. Robert H. Collyer in reference ..." The Zoist: A Journal of Cerebral Physiology & Mesmerism, and Their Applications to Human Welfare. 13 (49): 61–68.
and
(b) * Richards, Irving T. (June 1934). "Mary Gove Nichols and John Neal". The New England Quarterly. 7 (2): 335–55.
In relation to both these entries, the "Preview" displays a warning that "One or more ((cite journal)) templates have maintenance messages".
Given that there are no other details/instructions provided, I have no idea about how to proceed. Can you please explain; and, also, direct me to
(i) what the specific problem is, and
(ii) how that problem can be remedied. Lindsay658 (talk) 23:15, 26 January 2024 (UTC) Lindsay658 (talk) 23:15, 26 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Lindsay658: I remedied the problem with this edit. The citation templates automatically generate CITEREF ids from the supplied parameters. If you try to generate the same CITEREF with the |ref= parameter, this maintenance message about duplicates appears. It took a lot of careful parsing of the instructions at Category:CS1 maint: ref duplicates default to figure this out, then some experimentation to verify it. And I may still be doing it wrong, but the maintenance messages are now gone. — jmcgnh^{(talk) (contribs)} 00:07, 27 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Lindsay658: Sections on an article talk page should not be blanked, even if you were the one who added the material. It's not a big thing, but it's only on your own user talk page where you have this freedom. — jmcgnh^{(talk) (contribs)} 00:39, 27 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
