Change of citation style edit

@Itc editor2: @Choess: @Craigy144: @Laurel Lodged: @Lord Emsworth: @Proteus: @Adam sk: The article is still a Start-class. On 23 February before I started to contribute to it, the article had no inline citations and a list of sources consisting of two entries formatted as text (no templates). I feel that this does not really constitutes a citation style but to be safe and polite I want to ask for consensus as prescribed in WP:CITEVAR to be allowed to add incline citations formatted as shortened footnotes using the Sfn template and to change the list of sources to using the Citation template. Should no objections be raised within the delay of a month, I will consider that such a consensus exists and will make the proposed changes. In the meantime I will provisionally change the list as said and add inline citations using Sfn. I will regularise these edits to conform to the final adopted citation style once consensus has been reached. With many thanks Johannes Schade (talk) 11:37, 9 February 2020 (UTC)Reply

I don't see a problem with that, and would probably convert to Sfn if I were doing a major overhaul. Choess (talk) 16:04, 9 February 2020 (UTC)Reply
