The following are a bunch of references for the Wikipedia page on rank. For reasons of academic and Wikipedia procedures too complicated to be explained here, I am reluctant to edit that Wikipedia page myself. If you can't figure out where a reference fits just skip over it but, trust me, they are all relevant.
