to include.
I would have no issue with that except that it borders dangerously the
issue of OR. How do I tell whether this stuff is real or made up? Is
Wikipedia striving to be a reliable source of information or a buyer
beware one. We already are a buyer beware one, with the existence of
WP:CITE and WP:RS, so abolishing them won't get us anywhere different.
Some people hope it will make us more reliable. I wish someone would
sort this out, though, so that I could ignore my watchlist and go back
to creating articles.
