No secondary sources

Hi, Pls can you reason why the tags were removed with this edit [1] without improving the article. It still has no secondary source. Widefox; talk 15:51, 8 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

sorry to bounce you around, but also here too -> [2]. where there's some agreement on the talk page about needing secondary sources. Widefox; talk 15:57, 8 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Widefox, the article had three tags on it. [3] This is a well-known book, and unless there's reason to doubt the summary, it's best either to leave it as it is or to add sources, but adding tags doesn't achieve anything, except to disfigure the page.

I've added some sources, including one the author posted in the section above. SlimVirgin ^(talk) 17:42, 8 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Good work, regards. Widefox; talk 20:35, 8 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
