John Ioannidis
Removed accusations of conspiracy-mongering in lede. What the sources cited say is that Nassim Taleb made an oblique comparison of Ioannidis' Covid recommendations to conspiracy theories, and the two author's suggestions that others might regard Ioannidis' views as conspiracy theories. Misleading and insufficient for the lede.Tags: RevertedVisual edit

Ferguson effect
→Criticism: removed Sinyangwe critique: obscure, short, largely dataless criticism in insignificant publication with no evidence of being engaged with by others. Also: the "three assumptions" are not assumptions, nor the premise: they *are* the hypothesized Ferguson effect.

Abortion in Poland
→Abortions abroad: Not an estimate. The cited study adopts one estimate of the percentage of abortions obtained abroad from a different study, and an estimate of the overall number of abortions from a pro-abortion group.

Spanish Civil War
Undid revision 1038228119 by Havsjö (talk) The WP reference given supporting the exceptional inclusion of the Vatican as providing diplomatic support does no such thing, saying only that local Catholic leaders supported the Nationalists and the Vatican didn't openly declare its support. Local Catholic leadership is not the same as the Vatican.Tag: Undo

Spanish Civil War
Undid revision 1037425752 by Havsjö (talk) It remains the case that it is atypical to name *diplomatic* supporters of one side or another; still worse to name but one diplomatic supporter (all other countries were rigorously neutral?). And it remains unsourced and unsupported in the text of the article.Tags: UndoReverted

Spanish Civil War
removed "diplomatic" support of the Holy See. Needless to say, it is not typical to name *diplomatic* supporters in infoboxes. Also, there's zero reference in the text of the article, so seems extraneous in any event.Tag: Reverted

2021 Syrian presidential election
Problems: source says refugees mostly chose not to vote, not that they couldn't; baseline population ignores population growth since 2010, which was 2-3% per year in the 2000s. Extrapolating these figures is OR.
