There are several ways of adding citations that do not clutter up the text.
1. A superscript which point to a footnote.
2. A hypertext link to the source like
[
] which will display [1].
3. Using comments while editing that do not show up in the displayed text:

That's why all that material is in the endnotes, not cluttering up the text.
References are the foundation of the building, not the living room
furniture.

As for "Wikipedia is not a list of citations"‹fine; neither is
Lauren Hillenbrand's "Seabiscuit: An American Legend," but every
darn statement she make in that readable, popular bestseller is
documented and attributed.
