Ibid unhooked

Here is the definition of "ibid" which I have seen most profoundly used in many literature I have read, but never knew what it meant until today.

Ibid as outlined by Wikipedia

Ibid. (Latin, short for ibidem, "the same place") is the term used to provide an endnote or footnote citation or reference for a source that was cited in the preceding endnote or footnote. It is similar in meaning to idem (meaning something that has been mentioned previously; the same) abbreviated "Id.," which is commonly used in legal citation.
