A profile I have created, [[Kitson-654]], has references to information provided. However, it has text on it "This profile lacks source information. Please add sources that support the facts." I have included sources, so why the warning?

The Unsourced category was not removed from the profile when you added the sources. I just removed it.

When you add sources to a profile that is labeled as unsourced, it is necessary to remove the code that causes that banner to be displayed.

Edit the profile and delete the line that says:

{{Unsourced}}

Note that there may be more text after the word "Unsourced" and before the "}}".  Delete the entire line.
