References needed

[edit]

At present there are no sources for any of the people on this list: ie. no evidence that any of them attended Uni of Sydney. Please please please, if you add someone to this list, add a citation. hamiltonstone (talk) 11:50, 4 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

You make a very good point! I have wondered for some time how it comes about that this particular site does not follow the protocol that some editors are VERY strict on elsewhere. So I will gladly do my little bit to authenticate starting today.
Thanks, anonIP. Given the length of the list, what we really need is references using the footnote cite system, attached to each individual person. Ping me if you need help. hamiltonstone (talk) 22:48, 29 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
