Talk:Mendoza, Texas

Geography sourcing
Seeing 's inquiry at the Teahouse, I'm curious as to 's 's rationale behind demanding a source for information so blandly uncontroversial (I would expect) as the mileage from Mendoza to major regional cities. It is neither a quote, nor (one would think) a controversial or contentious statement, nor the sort of information a reasonable editor would find likely to be challenged. Could either of you gentlemen enlighten me as to what objection you had to it?   Ravenswing   07:14, 6 January 2018 (UTC)
 * The challenge was prompted by the fact that the editor in question had habitually been adding unsourced material despite a considerable number of warnings. To me, those mileages did not fit into the "sky is blue" category at WP:When to cite, and they were not supported by the reference which the editor had given for the earlier sentence, and I did not have the topic-specific knowledge to be sure that the figures given were true and satisfied the "Subject-specific common knowledge" criterion. --David Biddulph (talk) 10:33, 6 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Fair enough; thanks for the head's up.   Ravenswing   13:20, 6 January 2018 (UTC)
 * I see that there has been further discussion on various users' talk pages after further edits were made, and reverted by another editor. Further advice had previously been sought, & given, at User talk:David Biddulph. --David Biddulph (talk) 16:51, 13 January 2018 (UTC)
