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.
