Indeed. We should be using good sources to write articles for the publically-available Wikipedia. Ain't our fault all the good stuff can't be afforded by everyone.

Sorry - any public library in Kerala, Kampala or even Lima can order up anything from any academic library? Do remember that this is a global project. The 'populist' idea that anybody should be able to fact-check anything rather founders on the reality that it at most refers to about 5% of the world population, selected just about entirely on wealth.
We are really doing the opposite: making the cream of reliable-source material actually globally available whereever there is a decent internet connection.
