Eventually, maybe, sure. I'd rather have them stay closer to Wikipedia proper, though. I guess it depends on how quickly users wade through it. But how do we know that moving them anywhere will get those statements sourced/referenced/cited/etc. any faster than if they were staring viewers right in the face?

Like how Wikipedia was supposed to be a development grounds for Nupedia? My point is that a "Crappopedia" could open a very large can of worms.

the other wiki could be a development grounds.

e) Once tagged, there should be no big rush about deleting the material, but it should not remain indefinitely, either. How long? Assuming that there's no specific reason to doubt the material, months and months.
The _only_ objections to this I can think of is that that the tags are ugly--which is true but susceptible to a technical fix--or that we are not serious about verifiability and don't truly want to restrict Wikipedia content to things that are supported by published material.
I don't think deleting accurate, high-quality, unreferenced material is in Wikipedia's best interests. Asking for a source, yes. Adding sources, yes. But *deleting* good material? No.
