I hope the horse I am beating is still alive: we have
to be absolutely
ruthless about removing "I think I heard it somewhere"
pseudo-information from Wikipedia, and especially from biographies.
People who are fighting the good fight here are sometimes threatened
with a trip to ArbCom. They need our support, though.
--Jimbo
It needs to be clear up and down the line that the arbitration committee will support
people who remove unsourced information, as long as they are nice about it. But these
things should never come to us, people who resist removal of unsourced information should
be clued in long before it comes to that.
