V- Some or all of the changes weren't supported by neutral, independent, reliable sources. Consider re-submitting with content based on media, books and scholarly works.

R- The changes suggested removing content that is well-cited or where sources exist.
D- The reviewer would like to request the editor with a COI attempt to discuss with editors engaged in the subject-area first.
