Well, there is a good reason I don't read most of your posts. This nonsense is a good illustration of why. Of course the POV fakers are always asking for a reference. When it is provided, they delete it anyway with some lame excuse. Your point, I suppose, is that we should not attempt to reference the information in articles or ask for sources because the situation might be gamed by those who are editing in bad faith.
My suggestion, which is Wikipedia policy, is that references should be provided for the information you add to articles and that same standard ought to be gently applied to the editing of others.

A better approach is for all of us in our regular editing start gradually asking more often for a reference and do more deleting when it is not provided.
Heh. "Do you have a reference for that?" has always been the warcry of our more skilled edit warriours.
