Additional citations

I have nine citations. User:MoonyTheDwarf still added the tag {more citations} the same minute I first published the article (16:05). There is no chance, that they have been able to properly assess the content, and the sources during that time. Creuzbourg (talk) 16:11, 4 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

My tag was added after I noticed the lack of citations in the article's opening, as it contains exactly none. MoonyTheDwarf (Braden N.) (talk) 16:13, 4 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
