don't have references yet (AFAIK).
Well lets start putting it in more.
Yes, things with little interest are an issue.
I think I will have to make full list of articles I am interested
in being good that I have contributed to, and prune my watchlist of
the stuff that I just made small fixes to and dont really care
about in order to make this improvement thing work.
I might however have a few erudite references for chicken nugget
in my large pile of history of food books.
I wonder how many people hold off adding references because they're
hoping for a better source. For instance, I used to not mention
using Oxford Classical Dictionary, because it's technically a
tertiary source, but many of its articles mention only primary
sources, leaving no secondaries to cite. Nowadays I just cite it
anyway - if somebody has something better later, they can replace
the OCD cite.
