Using PMID: 23357028 (Citatin [61]) as a source for potentially wrong (in the case of Diphenhydramine) many listed pharmacological binding affinities in this wiki

I think this is problematic issue as this citation for this paper, (PMID: 23357028) upon inspection, it is simply reviewing an extremely wide variety of antihistamanergic drugs, in the paper no actual claims are made that diphenhydramine has any direct activity at dopamine 2 receptors or 5-HT2A receptors, i think any entry on this wiki page using this paper as a citation should be reviewed.
