`   :Andries what I wrote is true. Vassyana has already given many citations for that. However, every line in wikipedia does NOT have to have a citation. Citations are needed for figures, statistics and comparitive measures like oldest, fastest, biggest etc. I will give you an example from the Eiffel tower article. The very first line says, ``The Eiffel Tower is an iron tower built on the Champ de Mars beside the River Seine in Paris, France. The tower has become an global icon of France.`` It does not have ANY citation, because it is so very true, that a citation is unnecessary and needless. The same is the case in this article..`
