I really wish the Office representatives would stop advocating
flagrantly bad sourcing practices.
While talking about it: Were the statements made by Cary Bass, WMF
Volunteers Coordinator or by bastique, Wikipedian? And: Is every
statement made by bastique through the @wikimedia.org-address an
official statement by the volunteer coordinator? (I would not use the
term "office representative" here, rather
"foundation-representative")
