Question: Rule for section title
Answer: Headings should not refer redundantly to the subject of the article (Early life, not Smith's early life or His early life) or to higher-level headings, unless doing so is shorter or clearer.
Context: wikipedia

Answer4: Citations should not be placed within, or on the same line as, section headings.
