I agree about the OR-verifiability relationship. What confuses me in your statement is what you mean by "clearly correct" and "common sense". Both of these are subject to POV (and OR) if left to judgement calls. Are you restating what meets the verifiability policy with different words to help clarify or do you mean something else?~~~~Pro-Lick
No, verifiability is what it all boils down to. However, we need to remain flexible in what exactly that means. Sources which are unreliable for some statements are perfectly fine for others, e.g., a blog might be fine as a source about itself and its own history, but not necessarily about the issues it covers.
