OK. Well, different people may have a different idea of how quickly specific things need to be brought to the mailing list. That's one reason why I won't even attempt to enforce my preferences. There are lots of judgment calls.
But I certainly think that there was no need for a mailing list discussion of whether or not it's o.k. to include an unverifiable quote in an article for "sentimental reasons". Obviously, it's not. We don't have to discuss things like that on the mailing list unless there's some sort of huge dustup about it.
I'm just suggesting that maybe the mailing list has a bit too much discussion of things that should be discussed on Talk: pages. Each of us may have our own ideas about what the line may be, but let's all please consider this.
