I have to disagree with you on the IAR point - I just clicked on the
"random article" button five times, and not one of the resulting
articles had a single source. I think that our problem may be that,
because we place such a great demand on our sources, people don't
bother to source articles at all. Perhaps we need to demand less in
order to achieve more...
