Interesting to see this by virtue of repetition in our mirrors.
And our pseudo-mirrors who *don't* event state that they mirrored us.
Then after a phrase has been cut from our version due to lack of source,
it's put back in citing a past mirror who hasn't removed it....
Circular.
Unsourced statement one has "high trust" because it's been there for two
years, without a source. When a source is found contradicting it, will there
be a big fight because "100 editors has passed on this and haven't reverted
it!"
.... Shades of past warfare.
