Have you looked at the current version of that page? Every sentence has at least one ref, it looks like a spider has fallen into an ink well and then run backwards and forwards across the page. Typographically the result is a mess and almost unreadable with great gaps between one word and the next. I'd be amazed if there weren't less than a dozen sources that cover the entire sorry affair and each paragraph covered by 1 reference. 100 different references smacks of OCD. _______________________________________________ foundation-l mailing list [email protected] Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l
