[citation needed]

Channeling this well-known XKCD cartoon..

I find this kind of submission extremely frustrating..

It’s actually a fantastic thing to nominate in my opinion, but it forces the reviewer to go and find those citations for themselves (they do exist, for example https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1017825). Clearly I think the submitter did some work on this but for goodness sake add the citations in the supporting text..

I think some reviewers are scared of putting links in the supporting text, because they will have heard of submissions being rejected for containing links. Especially if they read other forums where the risk of misinformation is fairly high.

Thanks for looking this up by the way - saved me some time

Question 1

Title 1:
Can supporting info for nominations include checkboxes and clickable source links?
Subject 1:
To help both nominators and reviewers provide and evaluate supporting information more effectively, could we add two enhancements to the current free-text box?

• A checklist of basic eligibility criteria that the nominator believes the candidate meets
• An option to include clickable links as source references for reviewers

These additions could improve clarity, reduce ambiguity, and make the review process smoother for everyone involved.

This is the reasoning putting this question into the AMA session… still thinks this is a great thing to implement and make life a bit easier for both nominators and reviewers…
