Comment It looks like one user added 50 citation needed templates in 3 minutes on December 16th, 2020, taking the count from 4 to 54. That is a serious bit of tag bombing and 50 in 3 minutes does not suggest a lot of thought was put into these tags. Yet some of these tags are warranted, so a review is reasonable. --{{u|Mark viking}} {Talk}11:10, 29 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
