How would you recommend going about correcting false information from made-up citations?

Hey,
I initially reverted the edit because your account appears to be in conflict with the above-referenced policy. Your IP address resolves to one being owned by NASA. However, you are correct in stating that the content was unverifiable and the sources used were unreliable, therefore I have not re-added the content. Sometimes incorrect and unverifiable information gets added to an article and is overlooked for a long time and that appears to be what occurred here.

MrScorch6200 I appreciate the consideration, despite the circumstances. I'm not a NASA employee, to be clear, just working on site and closely with that office, and was trying to research some history, getting the broad strokes here. It's been quite a wild rabbit hole trying to chase that lead.

Infrogmation posting from my phone now, but you wouldn't believe the internet journey I've been on today, spanning YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, something called KSP Wiki, made-up publication companies' pages, and back here on Wikipedia. (I think I might've encountered you laugh reacting our merry prankster on the page he fabricated? The frog part of your username "jumped" at me. He seems harmless but a little too committed to the bit.)
I appreciate the appreciation though, especially from someone so esteemed in the Nola community and dedicated to the history! Cheers to you as well, sir.

Holy smokes, you've been doing work cleaning up that user's mess today. I feel like I owe you a beer/lunch/something!
