 | This article uses ibid., op. cit., loc. cit. (or similar) which are against Wikipedia's footnote style guidelines because of difficulty in keeping them consistent over time. Such notations may be broken by later footnote additions, and many readers are unfamiliar with their meaning. Please help improve this article by replacing these notations with named references (visual table), or use the format "Russell, Short Title, 182" rather than "Ibid, 182", where appropriate. |
