Citations in the lead section
See WP:LEADCITE. Summing up, citations are best avoided unless subject matter is contentious and a sentence needs backing up. Thus, referencing a simple, non-contentious definition to FOUR dictionaries which all say the same is superfluous, that's also why I keep deleting these useless references (one of them is a dead link anyway).

There is no point to refer to third-party books when mentioning the HDI rank - when Wikipedia itself maintains a list of countries by HDI. Is it a book you wrote?  kashmiri TALK  14:55, 25 December 2014 (UTC)


 * What Kashmiri said. In addition, WP:WHYCITE says that, and definition of landlocked country is hardly controversial. Later down the page, you'll find I'm removing the spurious references. No such user (talk) 15:44, 25 December 2014 (UTC)
