Final comments and verdict

Excellent review,

MOS:REPEATLINK, it's fine "repeating the same link in many citations". Also, in my opinion, a reference can be read at different times in an article, not in chronological order. GagaNutella^talk 14:15, 2 March 2023 (UTC)[reply

• ✓ Pass now, I will let the repeated links slide however there was a duplicate ref for Time that I sorted for you! --K. Peake 08:36, 4 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
