He's describing WP for an external audience. Not his fault that we
have internal jargon which is not entirely aligned with outside
standard english.
Actually, Charles was probably referring to these sentences:
"...the debate over which sources are notable..."
"...since there's consensus that the [New York] Times is a notable
source..."
Doctorow (the author of the article) should have said *reliable*
sources, not notable sources.
Ah, missed that. I sit corrected.
