Nikola Tesla in popular culture
Please avoid stating seriously contested assertions as facts as you did here. Just because you can find a website that makes certain claims does not mean those claims should be stated as fact in Wikipedia's voice. For more information on this policy please see WP:YESPOV. Material in Wikipedia should also be cited to reliable sources. Fountains of Bryn Mawr (talk) 02:04, 19 March 2023 (UTC)


 * It is factually correct that those are the lyrics to the song in the Nikola Tesla in popular culture article - it isn't stated that as scientific fact. I have revised the article text to clearly state that the text is stating what is said in the lyrics to follow WP:YESPOV "Avoid stating opinions as facts. ... should be attributed in the text to particular sources" JohnRussell (talk) 02:56, 19 March 2023 (UTC)
