References

Entire first section needs references. avalean (talk) 00:07, 21 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Everything in the lead is taken from the body of the article. It doesn't require refs as the same details in the body have them. See MOS:LEADCITE Atubofsilverware (talk) 01:02, 21 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yup, and quoting that page "Complex, current, or controversial subjects may require many citations". avalean (talk) 10:24, 21 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

My contribution to the editorial consensus that decides if the page should have lead citations: they should only be required to be added in this lead if there's edit warring over the section and its content is subject of frequent deletion. Looking at the page history, the contributions to this article have been dry outside of my own work. Atubofsilverware (talk) 08:14, 25 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
