notes and other info section

today a notes and a "further info" section was added, which were empty. I prefer to have them removed until they are filled, as I think that is esthetically more desirable, but my revert was reverted. Any ideas on why we should have these empty sections? L.tak (talk) 18:28, 2 April 2014 (UTC)

At this moment I am undertaking quit big job to bring all Olympic sailing pages up to standard (1972). While working on this It is good to have these placeholders so that as soon as I found material that I do not have to look where to place it. Also it is an invite for wikipedians to help adding good content on these places. So please let them exist at least till the articles are all in line.NED33 (talk) 19:03, 2 April 2014 (UTC)

But what general info do you intend to put in a "notes" section? Normally in a wikipedia article, rather than in sports statistics more descriptive terms are used… And aren't things like AWB helping you to do 300 of those edits in one time (I have no idea how that works) if there was a pressing need to? That would save you a lot of time; and it leaves other users the space to discuss how they like to see a wikipedia page… L.tak (talk) 19:15, 2 April 2014 (UTC)
