WP:CITEVAR forbids you from altering the citation style; you are free, of course, to make whatever other changes you wish, but not that. Please stop doing so.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 19:32, 27 August 2015 (UTC)

Pete, Sturmvogel's right on this one: CITEVAR makes clear that changing an established citation style requires prior consensus on the talk page. When you first created the article in 2009, as the main editor you created it with a particular style which, effectively, you got to choose, but subsequent changes to that style do require prior consensus. That's not necessarily an elaborate process, but it is necessary. I've reverted back for the time being pending that discussion. Hchc2009 (talk) 07:16, 28 August 2015 (UTC)
