Hi Sadistic Savior, thanks very much for that. No worries about how to edit, everyone is new at somepoint. In regards to the references, just one at the bottom of the page is good enough. If you just make a heading called References and put one underneath. The format can be found on the Wiki policy page under the community heading at the top navigation bar. As the gangs are all from the Night City Sourcebook, here is the reference i have been using for NC Sourcebook ralated articles. 

FISK, C. Night City Sourcebook. 1st ed. Berkeley CA: R.Talsorian Games, 1991

No need to reference individual pieces of text (unless it is a quote, then there is a wiki template for that) just as long as there is one at the bottom it should cover all of our bases

I have updated all of the pages I started with this reference. I will add it to any other gang related pages that I edit in the future that are missing a reference (even if I did not start them). 

I have re-worded all of my pages as well. I noticed some other pages copied from the sourcebooks verbatim (that was the main reason I thought it was ok in the first place)...I will reword those as well if I edit them. 

I am unfamiliar with copyright references like what you have above...do you have some kind of tutorial available? Like a naming convention or something that defines the formatting? I definitely do not want to get this wiki into legal trouble. I am just unfamiliar with the process. For the time being, I am mostly editing stuff from the Night city sourcebook, so this reference will work for me for now. 

I'll continue to edit the pages I started to make them more consistent with the rest of the Cyberpunk wiki. I am very fluent in CSS and HTML, but the wiki has it's own formatting rules that I am still learning.
