Dear anonymous user:
The Wikipedia style guideline entitled "Citing sources", under the caption "How to present citations", says, "Citations are usually presented within articles in one of five ways".
The first method in the list is the one called "general reference", described as "by placing the citation in a list at the end of an article".
The guideline adds that editors (and authors, of course) are free to use any of the five techniques, and it specifically states that no particular method is preferred over the others.
Undeniably, therefore, my use of general references is well within the range of practices which are acceptable and allowable at Wikipedia.
The subject matter here (the Central Greyhound Lines, the CGL) is not even slightly doubtful, disputable, or questionable.
The article does not contain any contentious material.
Although I'm a serious bus historian, and although I've been closely and actively associated with the bus industry nearly 70 years (most closely with Greyhound), I've never known of any challenge, debate, or argument about the historical facts in the instant article.
The sequence of events in the history of the CGL is long and tedious, but the topic itself is narrow and simple.
With due regard for all that, I've not felt, and I still do not feel, a need to use inline citations.
Why did you not identify yourself beyond your IP address?
Your IP address is linked to only one other edit, yet you appear not to be a newbie at Wikipedia.
What accounts for that?
Do you also take part here with a user name?
What gives?
Smiles!
