Removal of unsourced statement

[edit]

Hi, I removed the following statement: "In 2005, Bovista nigrescens inoculated young pine seedlings of the species Pinus caribaea throughout Europe <ref>Kenya Agricultural Research Institute, P.O. Box 30148, Nairobi, Kenya</ref><ref>Commonwealth Forestry Institute, OX1 3RB Oxford, UK</ref><ref>http://www.springerlink.com/content/37430785q9m30176/</ref>, causing concern for the future of Pinus caribaea."

Addresses of research institutions shouldn't be used as references, and the article referred to was written in 1983, so it obviously couldn't support the assertion. Also, outbound links like this should be put in a proper citation template, so that full source info appears in the references section. Drop me a line if help is needed finding sources.
