Explanation of edits made to this article

I have rehabilitated Richard Jensen's Wikipedia import in much the same manner as I did for Reconstruction (with edits that did not involve any revisions whatsoever of the main article content):

  • The method of producing in-text references was revised to CZ-ify so that the references actually include citations instead of being a list of very brief notes pointing to a very extensive Bibliographic section in the main article. In other words, the 2-step system of referencing was converted to the more usual 1-step system.
  • The extensive Bibliographic section in the main article was then no longer necessary and was moved to the Bibliography subpage.
  • Moved the External links section of the main article to the External Links subpage.
  • Created the Related Articles subpage and populated it.

I now plan to upload the original Wikipedia graphic which was not uploaded ... if it can be uploaded.

I am not a historian expert by any stretch of imagination, and that is why I made no changes in the article's content. However, I do have excellent knowledge of how to format articles and in-text references .... and that is why my edits are limited to those areas. Milton Beychok 04:54, 18 October 2010 (UTC)

I have now added the missing graphic image. Milton Beychok 06:12, 19 October 2010 (UTC)
