    Happy editing! Peaceray (talk) 21:12, 21 March 2024 (UTC)

    References

    Your recent edits to a few articles have been reverted due to the addition of {{tl|citation needed}} inside the tags. This breaks the reference and creates pointless busywork for other editors to correct. Please go back and revert your edits that break these tags. SounderBruce 18:43, 23 March 2024 (UTC)

    :I believe you have caught them all. Should these references be left broken until a reference is added in its place? Just so I understand what the correct procedure is for the future. Springy Moose (talk) 18:55, 23 March 2024 (UTC)

    ::A bot can usually fix "orphaned" references (e.g. those without content due to a prior edit removing them). For citations where the source does not back up what it is cited to, add {{tl|failed verification}} outside of the reference tags, like so: foo{{failed verification}} SounderBruce 19:53, 23 March 2024 (UTC)

    :::Okay, thanks. Springy Moose (talk) 20:33, 23 March 2024 (UTC)
