Albert Einstein

Thank you. There will be no further changes made.

I did not not consider these changes "disruptive" however. I explained the reason for the changes, which you may have missed. It was simply to shorten sections for ease of reading and navigation of the longer sections. Doug.r.macrae (talk) 21:11, 27 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. I think it's best to keep the section structure of the article as it is now, and first propose changes to it on the article talk page. The disruption "allegations" are more or less part of the standard message templates that were used for these warnings. I should have come here and explain, instead of lazily picking a warning template. My apologies. - DVdm (talk) 21:18, 27 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Doug.r.macrae. Thank you for adding citations to Bruce Cockburn. I made an edit [1] to show you how to make simpler references. With the book listed under "References", you can just write "Cockburn, p. xx" instead of using a whole book citation. Let me know if you have any questions...
