Reference consolidation[edit]

Any time a single statement or series of statements is followed by 2 or more references, we should try to remove redundant references from that group. If it's a single statement, then there's no reason to have more than 1 reference. SOMETIMES a sentence or paragraph with multiple statements may need more than one reference, but we should try to reduce when we can.

As we do this, we should try to eliminate some references altogether. For example, if reference #1 is used to back up statements A, B, and C, and reference #2 is used to back up B, C, and D, and reference 3 is used to back up A and D, we typically don't need all 3 references. Keep the single strongest reference that backs up each of the statements A, B, C, and D. "Strongest reference" takes into account the overall quality of the reference (how reliable is it? how independent is it?) and how authoritatively and clearly it backs up the statement itself.

If after doing so you are still using all 3 references, decide if the harm done by using a lower-quality reference for one of the statements is worth the benefit of reducing the reference count. If the difference in quality is low and the article as a whole already has enough "independent, reliable references that, take together provide significant coverage of the topic" that nobody will challenge the topic's notability then it's a good idea to reduce the reference count. On the other hand, if removing one of these references would leave the article open to a notability-based challenge, or if the substituted reference is significantly inferior, then it's fine to keep all 3 references. davidwr/(talk)/(contribs) 20:01, 8 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
