::While the Ritchie source it is a very, very good paper, I totally agree, three refs to it is a little over-the-top.😁 <br/>Ok, given this approbation, and unless someone objects in the next 24h or so, I'll remove the Sources section, and change the Ritchie refs etc. to <nowiki>{{cite}}</nowiki>s.

:::Ah, @[[User:Elrondil|Elrondil]], I note that some of the <nowiki>{{harvtxt}}</nowiki> links have been changed to {<nowiki />{efn}}s with <nowiki>{{sfnp}}</nowiki> references [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=C_(programming_language)&diff=prev&oldid=1295367058 HERE] and similar. Are we still OK to remove the ''Sources'' section, the {<nowiki />{Cite Q}}s, and move to more typical {<nowiki />{cite}}s?

::::{{reply to |Chumpih}} Oops, I forgot one {{t|harvtxt}}, so just moved that to {{t|sfnp}}s ... just wanted to finish what I had started :-). I still "prefer to have either all long or all short (either is fine), but not the random mix there is now." So I'm OK for you to move the {{t|sfnp}}s to refs (or {{t|r}}s?!?!). But I think regressing the {{t|cite Q}}s to ordinary {{t|cite book}} etc. is a bad move, so don't agree with that ... {{t|cite Q}}s enable [[Database normalization#Normal forms|data normalization]] and all the benefits that come with that. However, I'm not sure {{u|Remsense}} agrees with dropping the {{t|sfnp}}s after reading their response from a few days ago again.

:::::Yeah, I made a 'negative' request, saying 'any objections', which was unclear of me - apologies. So the reply above from @[[User:Remsense|Remsense]] could do with clarification.

::::{{reply to |Chumpih}} However, if there does end up being consensus for regressing the normalizing {{t|cite Q}}s to de-normalized {{t|cite book}}s etc., that could easily be done by adding <code>|expand=yes</code> to the {{t|cite Q}}s and taking it from there.
