I'm pretty sure we are not understanding each other, then. References like the following can be merged using reference names so they don't appear twice or more—it doesn't change any of the meaning in your referencing because they are the exact same references: "Parsons & Morris, p. 61." (appears
174:: I think we're not understanding each other. I've used reference names where I can, but sometimes a footnote may contain text additional to the reference, in which case the reference needs to be stated at the end. Footnote 14 is an example of this: "Parish register, London, St. Michael Cornhill,
655:"Apart from other books and pamphlets, Wright translated into English John Napier's 1614 Latin work which introduced the idea of logarithms." - awkward. Suggest rephrasing as "Apart from other books and pamphlets, Wright translated John Napier's 1614 work on logarithms from Latin to English."
955:, but footnotes are usually placed at the end of a sentence or paragraph." It's appropriate to use footnotes mid-sentence when a piece of information there appears in a source different to the one stated at the end of the sentence after the closing punctuation mark. — Cheers,
187:." Other times, I've indicated "Parsons & Morris, p. 71" rather than using a reference name as I want to indicate that the information in the article comes from a specific page of the source. Can you point out some examples where you think reference names might be used? —

Otherwise sources look okay. Links all checked out with the link checker tool. (Is there REALLY a book called
Trigonometric Delights???? Gah... I hated hated hated trigonometry... delights is NOT the word i'd use to describe it!)
672:
How about "Apart from other books and pamphlets, Wright translated John Napier's 1614 pioneer work on logarithms from Latin to
English." Or you could substitute "revolutionary" for pioneer. I highly disliked the current wording.
709:: I think that would work. I'd suggest "... Wright translated John Napier's pioneering 1614 work which introduced the idea of logarithms from Latin into English". "Revolutionary" sounds a bit hyperbolical. — Cheers,

Then I don't think you understand the concept of reference names? Please read the linked article; the references will stay exactly the same – only the
Reference section will shrink, making it easier to read through.
359:
Thanks. "Recognized" changed to "recognised". (Not actually wrong in UK English; but eg news.bbc.co.uk prefers "recognise" by 66,000 to 2,600). "Program" not changed: in UK English a concert

But that loses the important point about 1614 work - before the book introduced them in 1614, nobody imagined logarithms might exist; it was a revolutionary step forward.

Actually, I think I was quite good at trigonometry when I did it at A-levels – but not having touched it for about 20 years I can't remember any of it! — Cheers,
