Clean up

This is how the reference code is output:

<ref name='Reuters 2006-07-21'> {{cite news | first = John | last = Smith
 | coauthors = Mary Black, Joel Stein | authorlink = John Smith | title =
 This is the title | date = 2004-02-21 | publisher = Publisher | url =
 http://www.url.com | work = The London Times | pages = 14 | accessdate =
 2011-02-22}}</ref>

Please take a moment to return to the next line, one space before the vertical lines, to make things neat and tidy. Like this:

<ref name='Reuters 2006-07-21'>
{{cite news
 | first = John
 | last = Smith
 | coauthors = Mary Black, Joel Stein
 | authorlink = John Smith
 | title = This is the title

 | publisher = Publisher
