[edit] Pier Head

Thanks for the message. Can't remember why I deleted the Three Graces date "2001/02" - it probably was an oversight on my part. Thanks for putting it back in with additional information.

Regarding the book ref you mentioned, it was added in a "Further Reading" section of this article, along with numerous other Liverpool-related articles, by an anonymous IP address over a short space of time. (See Special:Contributions/86.143.193.117). These were subsequently reverted elsewhere by others for the same reason. It was perceived as promotional spamming and was not a direct reference. Although it may well be relevant, this wasn't readily apparent. Perhaps this should be discussed on Talk:Pier Head or other related talk pages.

As far as Notes/Refs go, I've been lead to believe from Wikipedia guidelines that inline citations are preferrable (WP:CITE#HOW). That said, there are plenty of articles which follow this format (as mentioned in the Refs guidelines), or even: ==Notes== and ==Bibliography== subheadings under an umbrella ==References== heading. This is as long as the listed books support a significant amount of the material in the article. I don't have any objections - a reference in any style is better than nothing at all.

Sorry about the long-winded response. Glad you're also doing some 'cleaning up'. Cheers! Snowy 1973 (talk) 20:20, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
