Relying too much on a single source[edit]

I know this is just a draft but it appears you are relying way too much on the first source for this draft.CycoMa (talk) 16:34, 16 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, this is not helpful. When writing new articles, people tend to use everything they can from a reliable source before proceeding to the next.

Article is long enough and new enough. No issues of copyvio or plagiarism. All sources appear reliable. QPQ is done. I like the main hook but also ALT3. Another excellent job! Thriley (talk) 02:04, 25 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
