User:SMcCandlish/Logs/Cite cleanup pain – why WP needs a single citation style

I've done probably at least 100 major cleanups like the ones below; I just didn't start this log until my 12th year here.


 * 2018-06-07 cleanup of Cat. This took about 5 hours (counting the substantive stuff too, including some copyediting, fixing outright broken or erroneous cites, etc.; but 95% of it was normalizing to a consistent citation format in absence of one, per WP:CITEVAR).
