There is a defined reference (ref name="text-310") which hasn't been defined. I could remove all reference to it, or someone could add what information is supposed to be conveyed.

Do I have permission to try and fix the mess?

Hattingh is married to the son Zaccharias not this father Zaccharias.

As Philip noted some time ago the profile is a big mess. I wish we could keep DvP numbers so we can see who belongs to who.
