Are you sure you left that message for the right editor? It was User:Hqb who tagged that article as needing references, and I've never edited it. Hut 8.5 16:57, 21 March 2008 (UTC)Reply

Have now contacted User:Hqb. I am new to all this so apologies for any confusion. Best regards. 1952mgyb (talk) 17:12, 21 March 2008 (UTC)Reply

Good job! However, the references would be more useful if they were used to footnote specific facts in the article text. Using footnotes would also allow non-essential details to be moved out of the main text, making it more readable. I've started such a conversion, but you can probably do a much better job of it, given your apparent extensive knowledge of the subject. Hqb (talk) 17:57, 21 March 2008 (UTC)Reply


I would be grateful for any help you can give in organizing the article, not my strong point, so feel free to adjust it- it looks much better since you edited it - many thanks. 1952mgyb (talk) 18:04, 21 March 2008 (UTC)Reply

OK, I think I've done what I could with it. There's one reference left that doesn't seem to relate to anything in particular in the article. Maybe it can just be omitted: it's not necessary for an encyclopedia article to mention every single reference to the subject in the scientific literature. Hqb (talk) 20:04, 21 March 2008 (UTC)Reply
