Citation obsession

[edit]

I don't know who tagged some statements saying they needed citations, but Wikipedia has a policy (which is accepted by scholars) that common knowledge does not need citations. The fact that the Sullivan brothers were the worst loss in WWII for a single family is definitely common knowledge and can be found in just about any WWII history book. That said, I went ahead and sourced it for those who are obsessed with citations. I also reworded a sentence, which that same person could have easily done himself.

2022 Flooding

[edit]

As of writing the ship is heavily listing and partially underwater 142.113.63.149 (talk) 22:56, 14 April 2022 (UTC). AS of this date - 15 May seem under control and stated will be reopened for tours by end of the Month. In various locations on the internet there was originally near daily updates, appears for a while had been a daily local TV news item. I changed title to Flooding. Ship could not have SUNK due to location and inadequate water depth. Still too close to actually happening - eventually just a larger section on this or its own article?
