Interesting to see this by virtue of repetition in our mirrors. And our pseudo-mirrors who *don't* event state that they mirrored us. Then after a phrase has been cut from our version due to lack of source, it's put back in citing a past mirror who hasn't removed it....
Circular.
Unsourced statement one has "high trust" because it's been there for two years, without a source. When a source is found contradicting it, will there be a big fight because "100 editors has passed on this and haven't reverted it!"
.... Shades of past warfare.

I found a Wikimania presentation earlier that showed colour coding of text according to trustworthiness and also rated contributors on a similar scale. I can't seem to find it again now though.

D'oh!
My usually gorgeous Gmail broke this thread into pieces and offered me a mere snippet which it served to me before presenting me with the meat of the thread which showed that EVERYBODY ALREADY KNOWS THIS :o)
Gmail, you have made me look a fool!
