If you would like to cite the same source more than once in a Wikipedia article, you should use named references.

Say, for example, that you have a source (George Clooney by John Doe) that verifies that George Clooney is an American actor. You want to also cite that same source to support that he won many awards. You can do so without writing out the full citation more than once:

George Clooney is an American actor.[1] He began acting in 1978.[2] Clooney has won many awards.[1]
  1. ^ a b Doe, John. George Clooney. Harvard University Press, 1971, p. 1.
  2. ^ Foo, Jane. History of Acting. HarperCollins, 2015. p. 20.
