• Comment: "album, entitled VI.[2][18] [19][20][21][22]" is a prime example of WP:CITEKILL. Instead we need one excellent reference per fact asserted. If you are sure it is beneficial, two, and at an absolute maximum, three. Three is not a target, it's a limit. Aim for one. A fact you assert, once verified in a reliable source, is verified. More is gilding the lily. Please choose the very best in each case of multiple referencing for a single point and either drop or repurpose the remainder. 🇺🇦 Fiddle^Timtrent Faddle^Talk to me 🇺🇦 22:21, 28 July 2024 (UTC)
