References

All of the references point right back to Wiki articles. That can't be done. I've also removed Bill's nickname, it's not references and can't remain unless sources (per BLP) @-Kosh ► Talk to the Vorlons►Moon Base Alpha-@ 14:40, 5 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I don't understand what you mean by "All of the references point right back to Wiki articles"; the references cite specific pages of the works listed in the article's bibliography. The information you deleted was properly referenced (although I personally can't review it as I lack a JSTOR account), and I can see no justification for your removal of it. Also, adding a {{citation needed}} tag at the top of the article, unattached to any particular statement, is hardly helpful. Deor (talk) 16:33, 5 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Per BLP? As far as the article states, Bill is dead.... BLP does not apply. Kim Dent-Brown ^(Talk) 16:50, 5 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Fake article. All references point to this article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 12.251.70.146 (talk) 13:59, 25 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Sadly, no. Check the bibliography now. Pelirojopajaro (talk) 18:07, 25 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
