Comment: Too much unreferenced information, with several paragraphs without a single citation.
Listing 'other sources' at the bottom without citing them anywhere is pointless. Cite them inline against the information they support, otherwise they're not references. And unless some of this information is based on them, they're arguably not even sources; they're just gratuitous external links. DoubleGrazing (talk) 08:33, 6 December 2024 (UTC)
