:Thanks, Mathglot. I just happened to be watching “Only Fools and Horses” last night when Del made reference to Rodney looking like a “Swan Vesta”. I went to Wiki to find out what one was and noticed the cultural reference to what I’d just seen wasn’t in the article. I thought it worthy of inclusion, so I added it.

:: Great, Jeff, glad you did! I’ll take any excuse to get someone interested in adding a fact to an article, or fixing an error. One thing: everything added to an article has to be verifiable, and although your [[WP:ES|edit summary]] provides that (”Only Fools and Horses” edit from S5E4 “Tea for Three” about seven minutes into the episode”), Wikipedia rules require that to be in the article itself, in the form of a [[WP:CITE|citation]]. Adding citations is a fundamental skill at Wikipedia; you can read more about it at [[Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners]]. We have a citation template that makes it easier to do this for audio/video; it’s called, [[Template:AV media]]. Please check it out, and see if you can add that to the article right after the content you added previously, and embedded between <code>&lt;ref>…&lt;/ref></code> tags. Thanks, and keep up the good work. [[User:Mathglot|Mathglot]] ([[User talk:Mathglot|talk]]) 02:18, 27 January 2026 (UTC)
