[edit] Cleanup

I've done some cleanup to the citation templates, and in the process saw some issues. First, there is no consistency in the use of templates. Styling should be consistent in the entire article. That means, if you got it from a DVD then use the Cite Video template, and remove any sections that are not applicable. I just removed 2kb of information that wasn't being used. I saw in the FAR that there was concern over the use of IMDb. I agree, it is abundantly in this article, and many times you can see where they were quoting another source. If they got it from another news organization then go find it in that organization's archives. The article probably needs a thorough copyedit as well.  BIGNOLE  (Contact me) 20:29, 13 April 2008 (UTC)
