Sourcing

I've just removed a chunk of completely unreferenced content here, most of it added since the removal of the previous copyvio. For all I know every word of it is correct, but without sources none of it can be verified; verifiability is one of the five pillars of this project. I also checked the Background section against the source cited (which is not the source of that material, which is from the 1911 edition of the Encyclopaedia Britannica), and as far as I can see not one word of it is verified by the source. I propose removing that too unless it is provided with sources that actually verify the facts presented. Advice on sourcing may be available at the reliable sources noticeboard.
