I would like to know the answer to this as well. The amazing ambivalence towards uncited information in articles, even those where the lack of citation puts the article into significant NPOV violation, is appalling. If we could require sources on any significant addition, especially to controversial articles, it would solve some of the content and NPOV disputes in serious articles.
Not really. "have you got a source for that" is an lod battle cry. It solves nothing.
It would also be of benefit in our fandom driven articles, as stricter sourcing rules would be enable us to slash out speculative "information" without hesitation.
You think wikipedia is the only place people write fancruft?
