Too many templates

[edit]

@Doug Coldwell:. Your effort was appreciated, but when I went to make edits I was visually overwhelmed by the dozens of templates and hidden text mixed in with the narrative text, making it very tedious to navigate. I make it a general practice to put templates in the Sources section, and link to them with a simple citation/link in the narrative, using e.g. |ref=jenkins and <ref>[[#jenkins|Jenkins]], p.123</ref>. Most if not all the material in the narrative can be and was covered with the existing sources. The previous existing sources are actually more reliable than newspaper clippings, which often don't have any name attributed to them, as compared to the original sources. i.e.History texts and journals written by established historians. Don't mean to sound prudish or anything, but Calhoun, Jenkins, Nonnenmacher, etc, are probably the best and most recognizable sources available on this topic. In the event that they can't support a given item I'd welcome a newspaper source, esp if can offer something the other sources can't. Hope this is acceptable for you. Again, many thanks for your interest and efforts. -- Gwillhickers (talk) 01:16, 8 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Newpaper sources

[edit]

@Doug Coldwell: The article now makes good use of all the news sources you've provided -- listed in a footnote, with a reference to them after the statement about, "... the general public and the press." In several instances they are used as citations. ' Best, Gwillhickers (talk) 00:40, 9 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
