Tip on citations[edit]

I don't want to be picky, but to me there is an overabundance of citations in this article: the same fact appears in two, three, or four different sources, and all of these instances have been used as citations. Only one cite per fact is necessary: it reduces clutter and the eyes are not drawn away from the importance of the text by all these little blue bracketed numbers. -- saberwyn 13:35, 26 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Just triangulating... Ok there is one with four, which is a bit ridiculous, but that's the "she was scrapped" so has a certain finality and weight to it.--Wmjames (talk) 02:52, 27 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
