On the subject of the unsourced... While looking up some info on british coinage today I ran across a cruftlink to [[Money in Harry Potter]]. Talk about unsourced! it runs wild with rampant speculation, routinely slips into the fictional universe, and I especially enjoy the bit towards the end where it lapses into first person (search for " I "). It's bad enough that I'd probably check it carefully for copyright violations before doing anything other than putting a deletion notice on it.
Of course, no sources are provided for the stream of consciousness analysis of books... although I bet someone will shove in a bunch of fansite links. But fixing the sourcing won't make this an acceptable article... and I think thats something we should keep in mind: Although we have a number of articles which unsourced but otherwise good, there are also many articles which are unsourced but also bad in other ways.. We risk doing ourselves a great disservice in simply 'sourcing' such articles but failing to improve their quality otherwise.
