@reneestephen@mastodon.social well heck, if I was the crying kid whose nose had just been gotten, I’d want more than just a placatory statement without citation, too!

@reneestephen@mastodon.social It is a real citation needed but from an older page edit for anyone curious https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=I%27ve_got_your_nose&oldid=1159129563

@reneestephen@mastodon.social what i love is that both the sentence and the citation needed tag were added by the same editor in the same edit https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?diff=1159129563&oldid=1145210850&title=I%27ve_got_your_nose

@reneestephen@mastodon.social one of my all time (similar) favourites is still evident in the 'list of Cetaceans' [https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_cetaceans] - scroll down the 'family lists' and (a few) missing images have a placeholder: "[cetacean needed]". I sincerely hope that the last remaining gap is never filled.

@reneestephen@mastodon.social That it is described in Wikipedia is humorous enough for me. Then I think to myself - is that automated - or did an actual human put that in. --- Then I think... Well in today's world I guess we can't rule out that someone at some time "did actually..."
