- Comment: As with last time, doing Google searches for these sources leads to.. nothing. Please provide links if you're using online sources. Additionally, LinkedIn is not a reliable source. Rambley (talk) 14:32, 19 June 2025 (UTC)
- Comment: I'm assuming this was partially or entirely generated with an LLM because all of the sources lead to 404s. Rambley (talk) 12:57, 19 June 2025 (UTC)
