I'm a big fan of referencing, but the problem I have is determining what is common knowledge. I think I tend to over-reference (which is preferable to under-referencing). Could someone give me a good measure of where to draw the line?
There is no such thing as over-referencing. There is no such thing as "common knowledge" regarding encyclopedic content. If it feels "common knowledge", it may be lacking relevancy at least in a certain context.
