Four years?

The Plan ended in 1951, so why "it operated for four years"? ,

Quotes from the article:

"The Marshall Plan was replaced by the Mutual Security Plan at the end of 1951;"

"Thus the plan ended in 1951" MarMi wiki (talk) 22:21, 30 May 2021 (UTC)

I guess if you count the years in which the plan operated, it is four years (1948, 1949, 1950 and 1951). MarMi wiki (talk) 23:22, 30 May 2021 (UTC)
Besides there are disagreements about the ending year (1951/2) (similar for the total sum of spent money). MarMi wiki (talk) 01:51, 31 May 2021 (UTC)

Multiple referencing styles

Probably as a result of the efforts of diverse editors over the years, this article has multiple referencing styles. This issue was also mentioned prominently in the FAR/FARC when the article was delisted from WP:FA. I would like to standardize them, if no one objects. In particular, I would alter them to rely on {{sfn}} to link to the references. I just finished doing the same thing to George Marshall and Battle of Chosin Reservoir... Will wait about 3 days for replies. ♦ Lingzhi.Random (talk) 14:35, 16 September 2021 (UTC)

PS - Actually, this one is extra messy. Given that the issue was raised in the FAR/FARC, I'm gonna go ahead and start. If anyone is unhappy, we can discuss... ♦ Lingzhi.Random (talk) 02:00, 17 September 2021 (UTC)
@Lingzhi.Random: Thanks for taking this on. And thanks for inviting me to help you with the first pass at organizing the references. It looks most of the citations have now been standardized, pending some small stylistic choices. They are now ready for updating as many of the citations are incomplete: They sometimes lack page numbers, templates need to be completed, citations verified. But, this is a relatively minor issue, in my opinion. It appears that all the information needed is in the article is available. In fact, it might be the case that some of the references and further reading could be pruned.
The bigger issue from my perspective is the article structure. This is best illustrated in the lead, seems which doesn't seem to follow MOS:INTRO. It is filled with information that doesn't appear elsewhere in the article, and the points and their citations get quite complex for a summary. This may require someone to take on a lead editor role here to restructure the article to include all the information in the lead and rebuild the lead as a brief summary. (Also, I feel a lead should have no citations, though I'd support whatever choice a lead editor would take.) This restructuring would take a bit of work. If someone adopts this article to restructure it, I will certainly help as a supporting editor. Wtfiv (talk) 18:31, 20 September 2021 (UTC)
