Regarding references:
Just a good idea to make a habit of listing references. It has the added
value of providing additional recourses to our readers regardless of the
established quality of the information.

Subject: [Wikipedia-l] references, admin request
Regarding references: I generally only list multiple references when dealing
with a highly contentious issue. It's a habit developed on the Straight Dope
Message Board where the word "Cite?" can strike fear into the heart of any
polemicist. As for articles that are largely factually based (geography, for
example) I don't usually see the need, unless, at the outside, I'm exposing
some rare and little-known fact. Basically, any fact that someone would be
highly inclined to question is a fact I'm gonna put a citation for.
Also, Mav suggested that I apply for Admin status, so I'll do that now.
Would someone also please explain what responsibilities come with this?
