Comment: Perhaps cite more specifically what page you got your sources from rather then a homepage? Kline • talk • contribs 02:49, 18 October 2024 (UTC)
- Comment: The article reads entirely like an essay, you need to work on formatting also as an editor you should cite references that covers the topic written not just passing mentions, and those references should be from reliable sources. Happy editing ANUwrites 18:41, 16 August 2024 (UTC)
