  • Comment: I would suggest cleaning up the WP:REFBOMB in the draft. And, please narrow the sources as you show this in your assessment but it is just churnalism for this. CNMall41 (talk) 19:48, 23 April 2024 (UTC)
  • Response: While the 2 sources are similar, there are differences. Only this one supports the sentence about model Aliah Canillas, so it has been used in that part of the article. But in the source analysis, I have combined them into one line. If you see other Refbomb issues, please let me know or feel free to revise. For such minor issues, there is no reason you could not edit it yourself and then decide if it should be approved or not.Hairmer (talk) 08:34, 27 April 2024 (UTC)
