Just so you're all aware, it appears a lot of Mr. Boone's history is false:

I came here to say the same and reference the same article. Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 63.66.64.247 (talk) 17:19, 31 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Style[edit]

The article is written overly-glowing in many places, and incredibly unencylopaedic throughout the article. I'll try to fix it. Puffingbird (talk) 22:07, 9 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Page numbers in citations[edit]

(Also mentioned at WP:ITNC)
The inline page number referencing format used (i.e. the colons next to the footnote marker e.g.^[1]^: 500) is rare and confusing enough, but then the page numbers in the inline text and the citation don't even match. Ideally, the citation would not need any page number with this "style". Perhaps anyone with access to those offline sources can resolve the page number conflicts.—Bagumba (talk) 04:46, 19 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
