Anyone have any good ideas of how better to
encourage people to cite
sources?
Make verifiability a key policy, and egregious edit-warring to insert
unsourced statements a blockable offence.
Great idea!
This would swing the balance too far in favor of the deletionists. The unsourced
statement would have to be unreasonable. Obvious common knowledge statements should not
have to be sourced, and someone edit warring, demanding that every petty statement be
sourced is being unreasonable, and should not be rewarded by being allowed to impose a
burden upon other editors.
