- As a casual glance at the cites in the article will show, @Pppery:, a good bit of this is included in the cites present, especially the Auckland Museum; at what point do you think this would become overly salted with redundant cites?
- BTW, I'd suggest you take a look at Sagecandor's recent contributions, as well as my own; I suspect you are getting sucked into someone's canvassing expedition. Anmccaff (talk) 22:50, 19 July 2017 (UTC)
- @Pppery:Without in-line cites, and at present article still has {{fact}} tag showing from another user not myself, our WP:Readers first have no way of knowing how to check the unsourced info. Sagecandor (talk) 03:29, 20 July 2017 (UTC)
