Russian corvette Navarin, citation

Yes, you are right. It is a redundant website. At least in that it uses the same book as a source. That being said, when someone is reviewing the DYK, they don't have to just WP:AGF for the content of the books, but can find it on a website. Speaking as a reviewer (I won't be reviewing this one, of course), I think that would be a good reason to let it be. But you took it out, and I don't want to edit war over this. So you can put it back.^[1]
