Tags and referencing

At the risk of getting my head bitten off...

I've restored the {{Orphan}} tag. There's nothing wrong with that one: it means no real articles link to Oscar Linkson, and encourages editors to link to it from other articles if appropriate. If you click on "What links here" in the left-hand toolbox from the article, you'll see that no real articles do link to it.

I've replaced the {{refimprove}} with a {{more footnotes}}. Thought it would be constructive if, after each sentence covered by their book, people added an inline citation to that book, so that we could see how much (if any) of the article really needed additional referencing.

As to the infobox, we're supposed to be moving to {{Infobox football biography 2}} on grounds of accessibility, but the parameter names for that infobox (clubs1 etc) won't work unless you change the infobox name from Infobox Football biography to Infobox Football biography 2 :-) cheers, Struway2 (talk) 14:38, 18 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
