Citation

[edit]

There was a "Citation Needed" tag at the end of a sentence. At the end of the next sentence there was a citation. That citation covered the facts in both sentences. Putting a citation at the end of every sentence in a paragraph, where all the stated facts are in one reference, violates Wikipedia style. The style manual advises keeping citations to the minimum necessary, to keep the readability high. If the paragraph has multiple statements of fact, which do not all appear in one reference, then of course place the proper references. I moved the information to group it for clarity into the paragraphs that have one reference for all of the information in them. Nick Beeson (talk) 12:28, 11 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
