@Praxidicae: using {{CiteQ}} is not "using wikidata as a source". The template merely provides a convenient way of furnishing the citation data for the academic paper source. In this case, the source is George Vernon Hudson (1928), The butterflies and moths of New Zealand, Illustrator: George Hudson, Wellington, pp. 329–330, OCLC 25449322, Wikidata Q58593286 and - very clearly - not wikidata. Please do not confuse what are two distinct things:- 1) the source, and 2) the method by which the source is appended within the article. See also WP:POINT. --Tagishsimon (talk) 01:15, 19 May 2022 (UTC)Reply
I think the thing which gets me most is, that you rocked up here and threw away someone else's work merely because (I presume) you do not like CiteQ or do not like wikdiata, or somesuch. That - the deletion of work - is outrageous and plain rude. If you want to eradicate CiteQ from article space, knock yourself out. But you should also transcribe the citation data you are removing, into a {{cite journal}} template. Deleting valid citation data and then having the chutzpah to add {{cn}} is disgusting. --Tagishsimon (talk) 03:00, 19 May 2022 (UTC)Reply
