Description: Even though an explicit citation is given for the dataset it is not shown in the portal. The API returns "Ebert, Martin: Taxon list of Jurassic Pisces of the Tethys Palaeo-Environment compiled at the SNSB-JME but the portal still display the auto generated default citation:

http://www.gbif.org/dataset/f5c60e9e-5b76-43b7-aa14-bbc3fa23b7d5#legal

http://api.gbif.org/v1/dataset/f5c60e9e-5b76-43b7-aa14-bbc3fa23b7d5

This is because we have a bad freemarker check that uses the dataset title to discover if we auto generated the citation:
https://github.com/gbif/portal-web/blob/master/src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/macros/common.ftl#L250

In case an explicit citation is given do we need to show both the explicit and the default citation?
The portal code says "We are in transition towards providing more consistent citation text for all datasets."
Are we still in the transition phase now?

Generated citation example: http://api.gbif.org/v1/dataset/7a681cd5-9781-489f-a43b-dfd117967550
VASCAN example using an explicit citation which also shows the default one: http://www.gbif.org/dataset/3f8a1297-3259-4700-91fc-acc4170b27ce#legal

Comment: [~trobertson@gbif.org], [~kylecopas] can we simplify the citation block and just use one citation in all cases?
