Sorry if this is all spelt out on policy pages, but I can't find it clearly enough. I'm wondering how self-contained articles need to be with regard to citations.
Take an example (but please answer on the principle and not on the example). Suppose an article has this: [[Babe Ruth]] hit 60 home runs in the 1927 season.
Now someone comes along and slaps a "citation required" tag on it. Someone else takes off the tag on the grounds that the WP article on Babe Ruth is linked right there and has copious citations that covers this fact.
Who is right? We aren't supposed to use Wikipedia as a source, but I always took that to mean that Wikipedia is not an -ultimate- source for anything, not that a wikilink can never be an adequate way to show where the source for something can be found.
Zero.
