[edit] References vs Footnotes
References are perfectly valid on wikipedia and are the more common compared to Footnotes, there is no need to change sections in articles to footnotes. Peachey88 (Talk Page | Contribs) 09:54, 7 June 2008 (UTC)
- See Wikipedia:Footnotes, in which it refers to the section as being titled as either "References" or "Notes". If there's been a wikipedia discussion somewhere (as opposed to your opinion that it should be that way), please cite it here. Thanks. Quaeler (talk) 11:48, 7 June 2008 (UTC)
