Low priority of social science section

(talk · contribs), the user who made this edit, turned out to be a sockpuppet of the banned user It's gonna be awesome (talk · contribs) back in July 2024 (the most recent investigation is located here).

According to WP:BANREVERT, Anyone is free to revert any edits made in violation of a ban or block, without giving any further reason and without regard to the three-revert rule. That said, should we remove these sources or keep them? Lord Sjones23 (talk - contributions) 20:47, 8 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
