Misused attribution tag?[edit]

The History section faithfully paraphrases the given source, (5) Farber, Jim (11 September 1986). "David Lee Roth: Eat 'Em and Smile : Music Reviews". Rolling Stone. Archived from the original on 2007-09-30. Retrieved 2011-09-07. This includes the final paragraph, which has an attribution tag, "According to whom?" It is according to the cited author, Jim Farber, as following the link and reading the source will demonstrate. Farber spends ample time on both Vai's entry into the public eye following an obscure but fruitful run with Frank Zappa, and on comparisons with Eddie Van Halen's skill a/o role in the act which David Lee Roth formerly fronted. The information, then, is properly cited and relevant to the history of the album. There does not therefore seem to be any need for that tag.24.20.10.46 (talk) 10:41, 3 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
