editWhile I don't want to get into the sort of lengthy discussion that has occurred regarding this article in the past, I'd like to give a brief explanation for why I reverted this edit. I'm a fan of tightening writing, and I believe I saw some good examples of it in that edit. I'm also a fan of simple reference formatting, so I don't object to changes from the harvnb template to the sfn. But, in such a large edit, it is difficult to follow the reasoning behind what looks like some pretty wholesale removal of citations. If that is not what happened, feel free to explain. More worrying is the inconsistent removal of italics from the "names" Massavana and Koesaaij. The italics remained in the lead, but were removed below; and the reason for the italics is explained in note "nb 1" at their first occurrence, in the lead. The italics were arrived at after considerable discussion: see here, and a briefer explanation here. Again, in such a large edit, if one such inconsistency is found, it is hard to have faith in the rest. Nortonius (talk) 09:55, 16 April 2019 (UTC)
