I don't really see what the difficulty is. I'm not trying to be dense here, but to me this is quite simple.
Our current article on Extra-Sensory Perception, for example, is quite bad. And the reason is precisely the lack of _credible_ sources. These exist, but the current article appears to be written by people who would prefer for these not to be named.

I think we may be at cross purposes. I think the difficulty is in identifying who the credible sources are, and with whom they are credible when you are dealing with things that some people think are pseudoscience and others think are suppressed truth. The only way to go I suppose is the 'he said / she said' model of article like 'Moon hoax'. Mark
