Is there some place where changes to this statement are discussed that I'm unaware of, or is it just being jerked back and forth at individual whim?
Individual whim trumps consensus for GUI messages for some reason. Something I abhor, as admins are *not* supposed to use their power in this way.
Geni: Eh it's been a fairly standard reason to use it prods for some time roughly translates as "we don't belive the author of this article.
There's a big difference between "This author has not cited his sources" and "We don't believe this author". If the first is being used as a euphemism for the second, this is a bit sloppy. No one should ever be deleting material which is harmless (not libellous, copyvio etc), useful (not vanity, nonsense etc) and totally believable, even if it's not sourced.
Well, that's my take, and a hell of a lot closer to actual practice than "All unsourced material will be deleted".
