[edit]

I noticed that the original editor of this article, @Tim1965, basically pre-wrote this offline in 2008. Unfortunately, @Tim1965 used a referencing system suitable for a school essay not really for Wikipedia. Biggest issue is that no pages were cited from books or magazines that were print-based. I can fix most of the web-based citations, as newspaper or web citations should be citations. If the citation is from a book or magazine, using a Reference section is good, but then only the author(s) last name, year and page number is needed in the citation. It can then also be wikilinked to the referenced book in the Reference section. By not having page numbers, source verification cannot be completed. I'm sure these are good sources, but no page numbers means this article cannot be improved higher than the C-class it is. Abebenjoe (talk) 02:05, 25 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
