Failed verification on Saab confirmation of killing

NoonIcarus in this edit, it appears the wrong citations were brought over when content was copied. The analitica page now sourcing that Alban did not commit suicide makes no mention of Alban. I've added three sources that do support the text, but I did not follow this portion of the case, and do not know if those are the best sources. Could you please review what happened here and then format whichever citations are kept, as I left bare URLs. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 09:15, 16 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi SandyGeorgia, thank you for the notice. I have no idea what happened or why Analitica's reference was copied, I don't recall wishing to include it. Maybe it was a problem related to the refname while copying with the visual editor? If I'm not mistaken the original and intended source was from Suprema Injusticia, from subsection "2021" in the International Criminal Court investigation in Venezuela article, which I see that you also included below. I added an archive URL to the original reference as it was a dead link and have replaced it in this article, as well as filled the bare URLs. Please let me know if you have any other questions. Happy editing, --NoonIcarus (talk) 09:35, 16 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, NoonIcarus ... I imagined it was just something that got mixed up in the move, but hesitated to pick the best sources myself, as I didn't follow those developments. Thanks for the cleanup, SandyGeorgia (Talk) 11:42, 16 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Any time! --NoonIcarus (talk) 09:10, 17 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
