Modulation
Can someone check this? As far as I'm aware, big ear didn't have the ability to determine if there was AM/FM modulation, this article outright states that the signal was unmodulated. I don't think we have any way of knowing that.

Can someone check this? The article correctly states that "The Wow! signal had a bandwidth of less than 10 kHz." Then it claims that the fractional bandwidth is about 1%. But 10kHz / 1420MHz is about 0.0007%.
Also, it's not the absolute bandwidth that matters for SETI; it's the relative bandwidth. So the comparison with the absolute bandwidth of masers is irrelevant. — Preceding

Citation 3
Is a big statement of opinion and maybe not how a signal expert would frame it. Quote is from Vice, a pop mag, and the source of the opinion is someone listed as "science reporter" but without any indication of qualifications there or at other sources such as her professional bio. On that basis should be corrected IMO. Delete unless authoritative source is found for it.

I looked it over and tried to connect it to what more substantial sources had to say—and I agree. Removed for now until it or a similar claim can be readded with firmer grounding.
