I don't think it would be too hard to enforce.
To start, a bot can look
for any external links in the article, or for use of one of the common
reference templates. Either that, or search for a section called
"References", "Sources" or "External links". To enforce
image tagging,
we have appropriate image templates which are flagged/ignored by a bot.
We need only do the same thing with article templates.
OK, a semi-automatic bot-assisted {{unreferenced}}-tagging. That'll find
them. We can then run "find the sources" drives. Sound workable?
I like the idea very much. It will encourage people to not only provide
citations for unsourced articles, but make it a general part of everyday
activity.
