I'm not aware of having broken 3RR – if I have I apologise and you can be assured that I will not make further edits to that effect. If I have not, you still have my assurance that I won't make further edits, but would ask that you clarify that you were not accusing me of it. One of my edits to that page was to restore a ref that was broken as a result of an edit conflict, which might explain the confusion.
As for similar pages following similar practise: those pages are wrong. I would refer you to the final paragraph of Killing of Jo Cox#Reactions, and the corresponding talk archive reaction to the edits which led to the section reaching that situation, for an example of best practise.

- You didn't, it was a notification that I was at the limit of 3RR.
