Please do not use Greece to refer to our country, we increasingly consider it offensive now because it was the name Romans used for Hellas when they conquered it. Hellas is an English word derived from the Hellenic word Ελλάς which transliterates as Ellas in the Latin alphabet. European Union uses Hellas officially as the shorthand name of the country (the official longhand name is Hellenic Republic). Sofia Koutsouveli ( talk) 20:10, 10 January 2017 (UTC)

User with IP 178.223.44.231, keeps deleting, censoring and rewording Balkan related articles. Seems to be nationalisticly motivated. Person is undoing your edits in WWII In Yugoslavia article.

What I am focusing on is altering citations that do not use {{
cite EB1911}}
, or if text if copied from EB1911 then the attribution template {{
EB1911}}
) as advised in
WP:FREECOPYING.
Let us look at the change to the last edit that you listed. Latest revision as of 06:26, 7 April 201 of Carlisle, Pennsylvania. In this case the long citations are inline. Apart from changing EB911 and EB9 to use the custom templates, the changes I made:
Prior to an edit that was made to this article in 2016 when the BiographyBibliography and Citation section heading were created, the article had exactly the heading it had after my edit (see
13 January 2016 -- the first edit of 2016).
Both the examples in WP:CITE and WP:LAYOUT use "Notes" and "References" sections, these are the common names for these sections.
In Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Layout#Notes and References I am following the guidance in "Title: Editors may...", but also taking in consideration the guidance "Several alternate titles...".
As to WP:CITEVAR "Editors should not attempt to change an article's established citation style merely on the grounds of personal preference". I am not doing that. -- PBS ( talk) 07:07, 8 April 2017 (UTC)
If you like we can go through edits on other pages in similar detail. Would you like to choose a page? -- PBS ( talk) 07:07, 8 April 2017 (UTC)

. Placing other types of footnotes into those multiple columns can make them difficult to read, in which case it makes aesthetic sense to place other types of notes into templates that are not placed in columns, but that is not a reason to divide up the footnotes into separate sections.{{
