Cleanup and citations missing tags
Two tags were placed by User:Artlondon today, and. Citations missing? A short bio based on four obituaries? And cleanup needed... without any note as to what or why needs cleaning up, and not even an edit summary? Artlondon, I don't want to discourage you, but do you realize how pointlessly discouraging such tag spam is for the people who read and summarized these obits? Please give specifics when you diss an article. I sure can't see anything dirty or unswept in this one, so what needs sweeping up? Meanwhile, I've removed the tags. They don't serve any purpose other than to aggravate authors. Bishonen | talk 01:45, 21 March 2007 (UTC).


 * I think he may have wanted inline citations. Gareth 11:26, 21 March 2007 (UTC)


 * I daresay, but inline citations would be pedantry run mad in a case like this. Inline citations aren't decorations or a formality, they're for use when there's some point to having them. That would be when you have, say, a not-commonly-known fact and a fat book that you got it from: then the reader needs an inline cite pointing to the book in question and giving a page number for where the fact is to be found. None of that applies here. Basically, all the obits have all the same facts in them, and reading them to verify something in particular four times over takes about five minutes. Note that I'm not holding this article to a lesser citational standard than Featured Articles (about which an Inline Cite Holy War is presently raging). All pages need to be optimally referenced. My point is that this one already is. Unlike most Wikipedia articles, if you don't mind my mentioning it. Perhaps the tags came unstuck from one of our many, many unreferenced, poorly written, promotional stubs and fluttered over to this nice little bio on the breeze?
