Regarding this change on the grounds that "Info from a single source does not need separate reference notes" – what happens when someone else comes along and adds more information from another source? It's going to be more difficult to be specific as to which information came from where, and the article will degenerate into a large block of unsourced text and a list of general references at the bottom. This might possibly suffice for a Wikipedia article, but I think we have a duty to be more specific with references at FR-Wiki.

This subject has been bothering me for a while, because we have no official policies regarding citing articles. My test involves imagining I'm one of those disbelievers who thinks that every single statement on a wiki is a load of crap and should not be trusted for anything. I tend to think, "is there a statement on this page whose reference can be brought into question? Can any part of this article be rejected as false or potentially inaccurate to the source material?" If the answer is yes, then I think it needs more or better references. Maybe it's time to settle on an exact policy for citing sources? Fw190a8 00:31, 10 May 2007 (UTC)


 * I completely agree. How should we start putting together this "Manual of Style"? I assume we should create the article in the proposal area. --Ebakunin 05:22, 10 May 2007 (UTC)
