ALT1: ... that it took the King of Italy 22 years to decide whether France or Mexico owned Clipperton Island in the Pacific Ocean? Source: Nearly 22 years later on January 28, 1931 Victor Emmanuel rendered his decision awarding the island to France. "ITALY: Clipperton Island". Time. 1931-02-16. Retrieved 2024-01-06.
Overall: Cite your source for that quote in the sidebar (the one beginning with "There is no reason to suppose" and we'll be good. Aside from that: ALT1 is strongly preferable, I think. Article needed some polishing, which I have provided. Earwig says 2% similarity, which I think we can attribute to some direct quotes. DS (talk) 23:31, 7 January 2024 (UTC)
DragonflySixtyseven, thanks for the note and comments. I went ahead and fixed the sidebox issue and I've provided another source for the document. For whatever reason when I clicked the link it didn't load correctly for me. [1]Dr vulpes(Talk) 00:31, 8 January 2024 (UTC)
