- Comment. Someone mentioned here that "inline cite requirement is not applied to FAs that passed before that requirement took hold." -- Stbalbach 15:49, 28 October 2006 (UTC)
- The quote above is old, inline cites are required on all FAs; the lack of citation has not been the only problem to surface in some of Emsworth's articles. Also, this is not the time to enter Keep or Remove: there are two weeks of review, followed by two weeks of FARC (if issues are not resolved); consensus to remove or keep is during FARC.

- Where is this documented? (the part about older FA's). -- Stbalbach 17:06, 28 October 2006 (UTC)
- Raul has now answered on the talk pages of WP:WIAFA and WP:FAR; an alternate question could be, where is it stated that older FAs are exempt from current requirements? Sandy (Talk) 17:42, 28 October 2006 (UTC)
- Raul did not answer it. No one has addressed the issues I've raised here and on various other pages. There's been no genuine discourse about the issues and problems of making older FA's require in-line. -- Stbalbach 03:10, 29 October 2006 (UTC)
- If the old FA's did not need to meet current standards there would be no FAR or FARC. There's no reason to assume grandfathering on any rule if FA's are supposed to be the best work of Wikipedia. This article is no longer among the best because it lacks inline citations. Jay32183 06:22, 29 October 2006 (UTC)
