You keep removing the tag, {{no footnotes|date=October 2012}} from articles. And when you do you cite the Manual of Style, can you cite something specific in the manual of style that prohibits the tag. If you do I will remove the tag myself. --Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) (talk) 13:33, 25 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
The shoe is on the other foot, Mr. Norton. You show me a guideline which requires the tag, and I will add the tags myself. Besides, see my comment on single sources at the Tabor article. Also see: WP:GENREF - I quote: "The disadvantage of using general references alone is that text–source integrity is lost, unless the article is very short. Is that too difficult to understand, Mr. Norton? Kraxler (talk) 14:57, 25 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
You better quit writing in an encyclopedia, if you have to admit that you don't understand anything. Now I'll explain it once: All statements are referenced, there is nothing without reference. Got it? All statements are sourced from the Life Sketches. Got it? Or was that already too fast? The Court History is the source for the tenure as City Attorney, since this occurred after the publication of the Life Sketches. Now that was a big jump, I know. But by tomorrow it will have soaked in. The death date is from his obituary in the ABA report. I suggest you quit Wikipedia, and watch TV series instead, that's much easier. And by the way, stop edit warring. Propose changes, or challenge statements (according to the guidelines) on the Talk Page. Kraxler (talk) 15:34, 25 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
You can disagree with me but please be polite, it costs you nothing. Instead of you explaining here which fact goes with each source, I am adding the proper citation to the fact. This way the next reader can verify that without having to read each of the sources you list at the end of the article. --Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) (talk) 16:16, 25 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
