Interesting to see this by virtue of repetition in our mirrors.
And our pseudo-mirrors who *don't* event state that they mirrored us.
Then after a phrase has been cut from our version due to lack of source, 
it's put back in citing a past mirror who hasn't removed it....

Circular.

Unsourced statement one has "high trust" because it's been there for two 
years, without a source.  When a source is found contradicting it, will there 
be a big fight because "100 editors has passed on this and haven't reverted 
it!"

.... Shades of past warfare.
