We comment on the claimed observation [arXiv:arXiv:2005.05301] of sterileneutrino oscillations by the Neutrino-4 collaboration. Such a claim, whichrequires the existence of a new fundamental particle, demands a level of rigorcommensurate with its impact. The burden lies with the Neutrino-4 collaborationto provide the information necessary to prove the validity of their claim tothe community. In this note, we describe aspects of both the data and analysismethod that might lead to an oscillation signature arising from a nullexperiment and describe additional information needed from the Neutrino-4collaboration to support the oscillation claim. Additionally, as opposed to theassertion made by the Neutrino-4 collaboration, we also show that the method of'coherent summation' using the $L/E$ parameter produces similar results to themethods used by the PROSPECT and the STEREO collaborations.
