- @Blazing Phoenix: Yes I read what you wrote about it, you were still too quick off the mark. All you had to do was read what I had written, compare it to what was being replaced and see what I was doing. I agree that I had overlooked doing an edit summary but I also hadn’t finished my edits. The text I was replacing was unreferenced, I was replacing it with referenced text. You were too hasty. Anyway no harm done, the article is now referenced. Quetzal1964 (talk) 21:09, 9 July 2021 (UTC)
