- 13:3413:34, 29 March 2024 diff hist −125 John Ioannidis Removed accusations of conspiracy-mongering in lede. What the sources cited say is that Nassim Taleb made an oblique comparison of Ioannidis' Covid recommendations to conspiracy theories, and the two author's suggestions that others might regard Ioannidis' views as conspiracy theories. Misleading and insufficient for the lede. Tags: Reverted Visual edit

Spanish Civil War
Undid revision 1038228119 by Havsjö (talk) The WP reference given supporting the exceptional inclusion of the Vatican as providing diplomatic support does no such thing, saying only that local Catholic leaders supported the Nationalists and the Vatican didn't openly declare its support. Local Catholic leadership is not the same as the Vatican.

Spanish Civil War
Undid revision 1037425752 by Havsjö (talk) It remains the case that it is atypical to name *diplomatic* supporters of one side or another; still worse to name but one diplomatic supporter (all other countries were rigorously neutral?). And it remains unsourced and unsupported in the text of the article.
