are some troubles re mandatory in-line citing and science

For an example of the amount of in-line cites

This level of citing is ridiculous. A theory should
be cited, not every individual statement of the theory.
Some of these articles refer to degree level science.
The layman will not understand them without several
years of study. Adding a few cites won't help this.
OTOH, in [[Mathematics]], there are some sweeping
historical statements which could do with being
cited, and I have no problem with this.
