• Comment: The section "References" starts with a list of seven references. Why? What's the purpose of each of these seven?
  One source is specified by ISBN alone. No author(s), title, place, publisher, year.... No indication of the relevant page number(s). To me, this just looks lazy. Hoary (talk) 01:38, 8 March 2026 (UTC)

• Comment: Failed to address any of the previous decline reasons. Please see WP:REFB on how to correctly utilize footnotes and inline citations. I'm also presently unable to find at least one of the sources specified. // hekatlys [talk] 23:43, 12 December 2025 (UTC)
