Changing statements that are referenced - your edit on Distance line
When you change a statement of fact supported by a reference to a statement of a different fact, you are expected to check that your change does not contradict the reference, and if it does you are obliged to cite a reference supporting the new claim, and to remove the reference supporting the old claim, otherwise Wikipedia will become a collection of misinformation. This is not about whether your claim was true, it is about the integrity of referencing. If you have a reliable source stating Line length is generally about 25 to 100 ft for jump and gap spools, then by all means make the change, but change the reference at the same time, so that the statement remains verifiable using the cited source. If all you have is a source that show that 25ft spools are sometimes used, then you can say that 25ft spools are sometimes used, citing your reference.
