Numidian cavalry
Removed bogus quote "they were described by the Roman historian Livy as "by far the best horsemen in Africa."<ref>Livy, ''Ab Urbe Condita'' 29.35.8.</ref>" - nothing of the sort occurs in the text. Book 29, chapter 35 doesn't even MENTION Numidian cavalry, nor does it give ANY appraisal of any troops.Tag: references removed

L. W. Wright
→Early life: Removed bizarre claim "during the prohibition era", which ended decades before his birth. As I suspected, nothing of the sort was in the source given as a reference, simply that he supposedly ran moonshine at age 17, which would mean the mid 1960s.

Band (rock and pop)
Removed Queen from list of bands with a vocalist who doesn't play an instrument and are functionally trios of guitar, bass and drums. Queen's Freddie Mercury is credited with playing piano/keyboard on every Queen album and live registration released that features him. Piano, electric piano and keyboards are prominent in many of not most of Queen's most well-known songs.Tags: Mobile editMobile web edit

Fingerstyle guitar
→Advantages and disadvantages: removed bizarre editorializing that made the claim that alternate picking with the fingers is incredibly hard, which is nonsense. It sourced the claim to a GeoCities(!) page that contained some fingerstyle tablature, but not the claim made here.Tag: references removed

A Jewish Wedding
See talk page: a well-sourced statement by the artist himself denies that the painting portrays his daughter or anyone in particular.
