User talk:Cite in a footnote if important

Further reading sections
The intention of the further reading sections in bot generated Gene Wiki articles is to provide notability and encourage human editors to expand the articles by providing background references some of which would hopefully be moved in-line. The closest relevant guideline is this:



I myself occasionally remove these further reading sections, especially if there are large numbers of in-line citations. Your particular deletions are borderline. The articles in which you have removed the further reading section have undergone only minor expansion and only contain a few in-line citations. In addition, the edit summary ''Not appropriate. Cite in footnotes if important.'' (diff) is itself is not appropriate. There is a justification for having these further reading sections and there are no Wikipedia guidelines that prohibits them.
