Contradictory citation labels

User:KL23EDIT expanded the article on 11 Dec 2025, but used multiple and contradictory information sharing the following citation labels, and then reused the labels without identifying which of the two was meant:

I hope this user will return and clarify their own citations. If not, someone else will have to see if the cited statements can be traced via those of the above sources which are online. – Fayenatic London 23:56, 27 March 2026 (UTC)
