Overhauling a much-used reference

Latest comment: 1 year ago1 comment1 person in discussion

This reference^[1], used five times in the article, is a doozy: It's a supplement to the issue dedicated to the magazine's semicentennial celebration dinner, and it's not so much an article as a transcript of the speeches given at the (albeit with footnotes). Especially because the references span more than one speech, it didn't sit right with me that only Moore was listed as an author, so I added all speakers within the section referenced, and used the {{r}} template to annotate.

It was usually repeated as a named reference, but I consolidated by specifying page numbers inline.
