The reference list at the bottom had links to the sources, though it was clear that you were trying to follow the guidelines. It appeared to be an oversight.

Re: Question about article sent back for revision
The names of references were hotlinked. We encourage authoritative references, but we cannot consider articles with links or full web addresses.

Re: Grammatical errors???
Once articles are reviewed they are purged from the system. If the article was rejected for "grammar errors," this means it probably contained very basic errors that we feel the writer should be able to correct himself. Please proofread your article carefully and use our tips for self-edit...

The trick with writing "series" is that each article must be able to work as a stand-alone article an no article can be dependent upon another. Customers can't be expected to have to purchase a whole series when the articles are offered seperately, and we don't want the entire series to be...

Re: Ages and American English
With numbers, I would suggest AP Style, which requires that you spell out numbers one through nine and use numerals for 10 and above. Except, of course, at the beginning of a sentence. Never begin a sentence with a numeral. Fifteen coworkers took the elevator one floor down to visit Barry for his 40...
