Re: bulk adding refs
Hi, thanks for your message. Yes, I do intend to return to the articles, though of course if someone else beats me to it then that's good. I've already worked on (and improved, I hope) a number of other Cambridgeshire village articles (see my user page). Since a criticism levelled at Wikipedia is that it's unreliable, I think that if an article doesn't cite any references, we should be honest about it and flag it up. But if you think it's unconstructive, perhaps I should stop? Katie. Bogbumper (talk) 13:41, 24 February 2009 (UTC)


 * I think it can make the article look less tidy, this is less important than accuracy of course. In many cases the basic information isn't in question and there's not a need to supply a reference for each sentence, therefore requesting references for a section or a few statements might be better.  If there's little likelihood of the reference tags being dealt with and removed then I'm not sure of the value of adding them. Rich257 (talk) 16:58, 24 February 2009 (UTC)
