Disambiguated [[distribution]] → unlinked; everyday term + no WP article specific to this sense exists. New archive-urls per script warning: CS1 maint: deprecated archival service. Came to DAB and add italics to newspaper titles; stayed to alter "Amnesty report" section for adherence to what the source says – attempt to compress & be succinct had unintentionally conflated / mildly misconstrued conclusions, imho. Anyway, tried for neutrality + accuracy. Maybe more appropriate place for it, also?
