Those are *goals*. Of course it's not feasible that every single sentence in every single article across every localized Wikipedia be sourced from reliable sources. That's ridiculous.
Instead we have "every single sentence in a random subset of articles must be sourced from reliable sources." It sucks if a topic you're interested in is in one of that random subset.
You also get subgroups of editors who absolutely refuse to accept some kinds of source. [[Wikipedia:Attribution]] has stalled because it's impossible to tell some people that popular culture can't be sourced like science and history.
Is that still stalled? That's getting silly. When I tried to make it a policy a while back I believe it was removed because someone wanted to satisfy the concerns of one editor. Now I may have that wrong, but I'm worried if we've reached the point on Wikipedia where one editor can prevent something happening. Do we really allow the filibuster? ~~~~
