G'day Steve, It's prolly important to include something to the effect of if you *do* remove an unsourced edit because it's unsourced, then you're not going to get in trouble. That's something that policy's actually useful for, actually --- as is [[WP:IAR]] ...
Well, you almost never "get in trouble" on Wikipedia. But to suggest that you no one would raise an eyebrow if you removed an uncontested, but unsourced sentence from the first paragraph of a major article is probably going a little far...
How about pointing out that instead of removing unsourced material, people can tag it with {{citation needed}} and move on?
