A guide on how to add a reference to this article and fall in line with the general referencing style
Write a reference as you usually would in a template that is most appropriate for your reference: {{cite book}}, {{cite journal}}, {{cite web}}, {{cite report}}, or any other template of this series, preceded by an asterisk for the bullet list. Please use |first1=, |last1=, |first2=, |last2=, etc.; also, please add |displayauthors=3 if there are more than three authors (alternatively, add only three authors and then add |displayauthors=etal). Finish your reference template by |ref=harv. Please use initials instead of complete first names, the shorter range notation for page numbers except when the two number differ only in the last digit (1234–5678; 1234−567; 123–45; however, 123–24), and the mdy date format ("January 1, 1970"). Add author links if possible (via |authorlink=).
Do not add it not in the text, enclosed by <ref></ref> tags; add to the Bibliography section following the alphabetical order of references. Alphabetical order is set by the first word in the displayed reference text; this will be either the last name of the first author (or the author organization if the author is an organization) or, if no author is present, the title of the referenced work.
Add a {{sfn}} template to the piece of text you want to reference. All parameters are unnamed, except for the |page= parameter (or |pages=, or |p=, or |pp=). Add them in the following order: last names of the first four (or less, if less are provided) authors; year of publication; |page= or analogous parameter.
The following reference should look like this:
* {{cite book |last=Emsley |first=J. |authorlink=John Emsley |title=Nature's Building Blocks: An A-Z Guide to the Elements |year=2011 |publisher=Oxford University |isbn=978-0-19-850341-5 |ref=harv}} in the Bibliography section; and
{{sfn|Emsley|2011|p=280}} in the text near the claim.

The section Classical Era begins with the statement "Because silver" is if the connection between lead production was obvious, which it isn't. I therefore investigated the reference 130 provided, which conflicts with a statement later in the section. In the reference it states that despite the existence of silver with lead, they believe that leads main connection with silver is using lead in the silver extraction process, which they did regardless of the silver ore. That conflicts with the statement that most lead was extracted just because they were looking for silver.
I don't know anything about this, so can somebody please have a look at it ?
I'm not seeing a contradiction. "Lead came into use as an exchange medium" is in the sentence that uses reference 130, which describes the extraction of silver from Galena using the properties of lead. Also, the connection between lead and silver is described under the previous heading at reference 124. Reconrabbit13:24, 16 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
