Inline citations

I'm blowed if I can see the need for inlne citations in a potted biography of this length. The original authors referenced two potted biographies in reliable secondary sources, quoting both ISBNs, which should be enough verifiability surely as the material is hardly controversial.

But somebody has a problem with it. Fortunately, I have just stumbled on a third such reference. It seems to be much the same as the other two, and I've inlined the more important bits of what it specifically verifies, as that's what inlines are for. Hopefully this will satisfy. All three references are readily available in dead-tree format for those still suspicious, just follow the ISBN links, and short of copyvio by quoting the whole section verbatim I can't see what else is possible. Or necessary. Andrewa (talk) 17:05, 22 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
