Formal challenge to provide sourcing
[edit]User:Ozeye, This is a request to provide sourcing for the content you changed or added in these edits without specifying a source, and then added again without a source in this edit, after I reverted the first set. WP:Verifiability is Wikipedia policy, and you may not add this information without a citation to a reliable source when requested, and this is a formal challenge that you provide this sourcing.
Your claim in the edit summary that "The reference is to a dynamic data source which contains the data for 2020 and 2021 in addition to 2019, thus the absence of a need to update the citation" holds no water, and is not policy-based; the article must link to a page which actually contains the data, and the link in the article does not. The reference in the article currently points to this page for 2019, which, although it includes a hyperlink to 2021 data (meaning you can click it to get there) but does not contain the 2021 data itself. If you doubt this, look at row two of the table in our article, which in your version, lists WA = 0.967. However, if you go to the linked source page and view the HTML page source you will see the following:
HTML lines 1275–1278 from the globaldatalab source in the article
|
|---|
<tr>
<td class="region" title="Western Australia">Western Australia</td>
<td class="proper">0.957</td>
</tr>
|
and if you scan the entire page, there is no occurrence of the figure "0.967" on that page. Please provide a citation that verifies your "0.967" figure (and all the other figures you changed). I have reverted your last change once again; please do not reinsert the new data without a source that verifies the new figures. Thanks, Mathglot (talk) 21:51, 13 February 2023 (UTC)
