Worldometer
Thanks for your good faith contributions to Worldometer. I can see that you were looking out for WP:Verifiability and making sure there were references at the article, and when you didn't see one, you removed some (apparently) unsourced content. That's great; thanks for looking out for Verifiability! Unfortunately, I had to revert your changes; it turns out the statements in the article were sourced all along. You might have been misled by the presence of a named reference, which looks like this:. That kind of looks like it's empty and there's nothing there, and I'm guessing that that's why you removed the sentence before it. But in actuality, a "named reference" (the "ns" here is the name) points to another reference elsewhere in the article. In order to keep from having to type out the same, long, citation every time the same book or website is used somewhere in the article, not to mention the risk of making a typo or having them end up out of sync, you only have to add the full citation in the article once, and give it a name. Then, when you want to use it again, you just cite it with the name only, and a slash before the ending angle bracket:  and then you can skip typing the citation again.
