References, but reference format probably incorrect

I've put several references in, but I don't think I got the format quite correct, e.g.

<ref>[www.website.com/link-goes-here.html TITLE OF THE LINK GOES HERE] accessed 10 August 2007</ref>

Is that correct?
Also, what happens if a reference is repeated? If you go to the references section you'll see some references have been added more than once. Is that okay?

Other issues

I'm working on getting a photograph. I know there is one on the Government Communication Service's website on her profile, but I've emailed them to ask on the copyright status of the photo, and, if they can release any other photos.
Her history in government goes back several years, and her current profile doesn't actual represent much of it. For example she was almost fired 2-years ago. She was one of the first Ministers to publicly take an HIV/AIDS test, and she reportedly invited the president to do the same (I think that's what almost got her fired the first time round) -- this nonetheless earned her major kudos in South Africa because at the time the president and her boss had highly controversial views on HIV/AIDS, and the department lacked leadership in this regard, so she was lauded back then. She is one of very few (or the only) person(s) in cabinet to be in an inter-racial marriage (her husband is caucasian (read: white) and she is african (read: black)). She also claims to be studying philosophy.

I see that the whoswhosa site lists an email address for her (eek!!) - perhaps just mail here for a photo ?? Wizzy…☎ 16:20, 12 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
