Right, there's the issue.
What issue? We don't want people removing valid references. In many
cases references are the most important bits of the whole article.
Note that sock puppet abuse is covered by policy also, using a sock to
repeatedly remove references will certainly get you blocked, as this
individual involved found out.
I would argue the other way- sticking to English-only references is
unequivocally harmful for the project.
You're missing my sarcasm.
Yes, we do a good job of punishing removal of non-English references. But we still do an
awful job of *adding* non-English references.
