Realistically, when is this a problem, Charles? I confess to being
bewildered when people complain about the need to find sources. If
their edit is correct, why can't they source it?
Are they actually refusing to source it. Or is the material simply
being removed without so much as an attempt to engage in serious dialogue?
It's all theoretical, Ray. In reality, simple facts are not being removed
from articles. However, POV and Original research are challenged and, when
no reliable sources can be found, they are removed.
