Sometimes things slip through the cracks, but I assure you the mods are just doing their job and not singling anybody out. The lack of explanation on the article as opposed to a wall message is because unfortunately the rollback function does not provide a chance for an edit summary; however, remember edits are never actually lost, you can always retrieve them from the article's history later to go back and add the references to save time.

Also, if you're worried about "over referencing," one trick I use is to hide a reference if it's identical to the one that follows, that way it's visible to editors, but not the general public. For example, here's a couple redundancies I bolded for ease of understanding to note how I hid them while cleaning up Donald Pierce's article recently:

With the Reavers at their lowest ebb, Donald Pierce and his cyber jockeys alongside their new members, Star and Shine, took a big money gig in order to ascertain the mortal remains of their hated adversary Wolverine for a potential buyer. 

Their mission ended in failure due in part to the X-Men having displaced the body of their fallen comrade from the adamantium statue it was trapped in beforehand, said makeshift headstone being left as a sort of lure for those who would attempt to desecrate his grave. Pierce and his team were soon rounded up by the X-Men and deposited to Alpha Flight for incarceration; however, they instead ended up conscripted to the services of O*N*E. In exchange for bodily repairs and upgrades to their bionics, Pierce and his Reavers were tasked with hunting down targeted mutants for General Callahan. 

With their latest acquisition being Miss Sinister, they would square the books and the National Emergency director would grant Pierce and his crew their freedom, but Callahan went back on his deal, opting to enslave Pierce and Cylla through a fail-safe installed into their refurbished mechatronics while killing off Stomper, Watchel, and everyone else involved.

Anyway, I've changed the text at the end of the "References Warning" to better explain it wasn't always the case here, but being reliably peer reviewed is now a focus on the Marvel Database, and hope that helps others avoid confusion in the future. -
