Apologies Binksternet, but I do not see the point of requiring a citation to a sentence that is clearly emanating from another linked article, and where the source is provided in that article. 14.2.193.105 (talk) 06:32, 11 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Someone challenged the sentence with a fact tag, which means an inline citation must be supplied. See WP:INLINECITE and WP:MINREF. It is never sufficient to rely on a wikilink to another article.
In this specific case, the information is contradictory in the two articles. One says 8 November while the other says 4 November. The maintenance tag must stay in place until the date is corrected and an inline citation is added at the end of the sentence. Binksternet (talk) 11:50, 11 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
