That's a valid and subtle point. It's compounded by the fact that the
more
heavyweight sources tend to be more restrained in their tone, and the
more
lightweight sources, more shrill and emotive.
NPOV as presently defined does not help us there: we are duty-bound to
reflect the shrill voices in their shrillness, and the authoritative
sources
in their restraint.
I don't see this changing unless we can see our way clear to assigning
more
weight to authoritative sources, instead of the simple dichotomy of "not
reliable"/"reliable", where everything on the "reliable" side is
given
equal weight, regardless of whether it is a gossip site or an
authoritative
scholarly biography.

No one is "obligated" to edit in a foolish way. Editorial judgment means
use your OWN best judgment, and, if there are issues, discuss what weight
to give various sources.
