  • Comment. I have passed by and read this article now numerous times. The main issue appears to be the sourcing. I'm not convinced Third Hour, for example, would be considered a reliable source by Wikipedia standards. It looks like a blog with no explicit editorial standards for accuracy; in fact it has a disclaimer at the bottom of the page about the views of its users who submit content.

  • @Cielquiparle: Thanks for your comment, and for your feedback. Out of an abundance of caution, I've removed citations to that site and trimmed content dependent on those citations. Hydrangeans (she/her) (talk) 23:28, 21 March 2024 (UTC)
