Referencing[edit]

It seems that most of the geologyshop reference comes from Varley - it would be better if as much as possible of the article could have inline references from a "paper" source such as Varley rather than a non-inline reference to a commercial website. 81.109.183.49 (talk) 12:02, 24 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
