An editor has removed an online/inline reference and changed the format which contravenes the essential idea of
Wikipedia:Verifiability, and actually undermines it. There is no good reason for this. See
Wikipedia:Inline citation which states:
The opposite of an inline citation is what the English Wikipedia calls a general reference. This is a bibliographic citation, often placed at or near the end of an article, that is unconnected to any particular bit of material in an article, but which might support some or all of it. It is called a "general reference" because it supports the article "in general", rather than supporting specific sentences or paragraphs.Djflem (

To me it seems the removal of the inline citation was an accident and the point of the edit was to make use of {{sfn}}, which does create an inline citation that links to the work listed in a "bibliography" section. Personally I'm not sure I see the need at this point; in my opinion the main benefit of {{sfn}} is that articles that cite multiple pages of the same work get much more easily readable references section. Currently we only seem to cite one page of the work in question, though.
