[edit] unreferenced tag

It seems overzealous to have tagged this. Perrin's status is self-documenting from the references given. Go to Amazon and check the books eg on Don Whillans exist; go to the Guardian and check that his recent obit of Brede Arkless exists. I shall remove this tag by noon today.

All articles should WP:CITE reliable sources, no exceptions. See also WP:V and WP:RS. Can't sleep, clown will eat me 07:30, 21 April 2006 (UTC)
No, this way madness lies! The article cites two books and a major British newspaper. Do you want those explicitly put in a bibliography? Do you think the the guy is made up? (*) I shall certainly untag on the basis of what you've written so far.

I added two references. Thanks for paying attention, Can't sleep. Bob, you might want to look around a little on other (preferably featured) articles on how claims are properly sourced. Looking over Can't sleep's links helps too. Good luck editing. ~ trialsanderrors 03:26, 5 July 2006 (UTC)
