:Why you reverted my latest edit:
:*"Cosmetic changes".
:**But there were many little changes...
:*"Gratuitous change of citation style".
:**I used the
:*"There is no evidence that the added source is in any way reliable".
:**The author of this website was a "professeur agrégé de mathématiques": he passed a national competitive exam, at a rather high level, which enables teaching to future math highschool teachers (& he did so); also, he won a math prize: the B.H. Neumann (an Australian math Professor of university) award (in 2001).
:But anyway, as usual: why removing the whole edit, instead of just removing the <ref ... ref>s in question?
Line 264:
::"I used the Wikipedia Visual Editor citation wizard!" is not an excuse for not following the existing citation style in the article. It is like getting caught drunk driving but then saying "but I was driving a Yaris!" Yes it will get you places but not very well. If a source is not reliable, the claims in that source should not have been added. And yes, you made many little pointless changes, which I didn't consider to be important collateral damage in reverting your badly sourced addition. —[[User:David Eppstein|David Eppstein]] ([[User talk:David Eppstein#top|talk]]) 06:46, 9 May 2021 (UTC)

::The article uses a citation style in which citations are formatted as Citation Style 2 (the {{tl|citation}} series of templates), at the end of the article (inside the Bibliography section), called out in footnotes within the article using short footnotes. You used a citation style in which your citation was formatted as Citation Style 1 (the {{tl|cite journal}} series of templates), directly within the footnote. In addition, your citation incorrectly gave the hostname from the url (maths.ac-noumea.nc) as the name of the website of the source (should have been "a ride through the polyhedra world"). So you changed the style in multiple ways. —[[User:David Eppstein|David Eppstein]] ([[User talk:David Eppstein#top|talk]]) 20:31, 9 May 2021 (UTC)

:*About "maths.ac-noumea.nc" instead of "a ride through the polyhedra world": i didn't know that the citation wizard's automatic generator made such an error of citation parameter.
:*About Citation Style 1 instead of 2: it's a little breach of source code homogeneity, but it's invisible to readers.
:*You didn't answer the most important (real) question: is a PhD required to be cited on Wikipedia, please?
