There are some people who don't seem terribly
inclined to do the real
research necessary to actually contribute to the encyclopedia, so they
just go around slapping tags on whatever articles they run across. I
would much rather they spent their time adding appropriate categories
instead, which is something else that can be done with relatively little
prior knowledge about a subject. The category system still needs serious
organization and improvement, and would bring more real benefit to the
encyclopedia than happy-go-lucky tag-slapping.
As I understood the (babelfished) de: quality page, what they did was a
pile of tag-slapping, then going forth and trying to fix it. The first
tells where to start on the second.
I can't see {{unreferenced}} becoming a bargaining chip in an edit war.
(People who remove references are an entirely different problem.)
