Architects Act    Thanks for your intervention on this page  I agree youre probably right to remove the lengthy footnote but my reason for supporting your removal of the reference would be different namely that as time goes by some information loses its topical interest and becomes more abstruse which is I imagine the reason it was placed in a footnote and not in the body of the text in the first place  I therefore appreciate your placing the information on the talk page for you never know a serious researcher rather than just a casual visitor who takes a general interest in primary legislation may derive genuine satisfaction in finding it there the very distinction I hope you will agree that marks an encyclopaedia which should be an extensive knowledge resource apart from a penny guidebook  A few points however You have left some external links Blair Kelly which had relevance to the detailed former footnote but not to the article There is a balance between referencing all statements and introducing clutter   The bulletpoint statements are accurate and in point of fact can be verified easily enough by looking at the linked pages  And as to technology if you have a way to put a reference on a footnote using the edit pages then you are a lot cleverer than I am Your criticism is a little disparaging  It may of course be both accurate and justified but pejorative language such as yours is quite difficult to read with a constructive attitude  Perhaps it needs charity  May I suggest that for the sake of the average grump you adopt the style of academia which I admire but am no part of which is to achieve a result coming up with an improvement rather than a halfbaked detraction
