Why do people have to add "Citation Needed" tags when there is no need, nor is it funny. The joke stopped being funny at least a decade ago. SDSpivey (talk) 16:21, 9 September 2023 (UTC)
[Citation needed] 172.70.131.154 19:17, 9 September 2023 (UTC)
- It can be amusing when it's used occasionally... say, in fewer than 1 page in 4 or 5. Every page, let alone multiple times on a single page? It's like the guy who tells the same weak puns, over and over, anytime one tries to talk with him. Who can't stop doing it. Who has lost friends and roommates over that habit but still can't stop.
- Please don't be that guy. Stop with the constant stream of "citation needed"s. BunsenH (talk) 22:51, 9 September 2023 (UTC)

I always check the link because I'm hopeful it will be something more clever, like when RM would link in the blog to a person looking to buy a Chevy Citation or something like that... but no, it's always the ancient "Wikipedia protester" comic!
