Too many citations

[edit]

There is no need to provide multiple citations for every single fact! It detracts from the readability of the article. A good rule-of-thumb is to provide ONE citation for each paragraph, plus one for any notable or potentially controversial statement. In such a short article there is no need to repetitiously reference the same source 5 or 6 times.

Also, this article has a long bibliography including several general works. I would say that a bibliography is usually unnecessary if you are citing so many sources inline. The impression is that you are trying to bulk it out, to make it more noteworthy! Unfortunately it has the opposite effect. Darorcilmir (talk) 13:31, 5 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
