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? ~~~~
