Removed a vague sentence without valid source.

This sentence was added a few months ago (by @Lightest), and has had two different citations, neither of which actually supported the inclusion of the sentence: "This fact-checking tool is not externally evaluated."

The currently cited source says "None found" under the heading "Are there external evaluations?" That is not documentation that the site either is or isn't "externally evaluated," even if it were clear what the editor meant by "externally evaluated." The first citation the editor used, didn't contain anything supporting the sentence at all, as best I can tell - I read over it a few times and didn't find anything relevant. Thus, I have removed the sentence. If it's going to be added again, it needs a proper citation and probably some links clarifying what is meant by "externally evaluated." Without a proper source, it's far too vague and subjective to be encyclopedic. CleverTitania (talk) 06:25, 15 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
