Quite often, when I stumble by accident into an article, perhaps interwiki-ing from/to de.wikipedia, I find dozens of weblinks and not a single book given, even when they are easy to find, even for me.
At some point of time we must stop trying to evolve into a backup copy of the WWW and draw from other sources.
Amen to that, and there are a bunch of editors who've evolved past the "first 10 hits from Google" stage. It's remarkable how little is online, compared to a university library; try picking random pages of random books, oftentimes the net might have a mention of a word or two, but none of the page's factual content.
