That would be more sourced than most published books or encyclos.

We can also track and show (as mouseover text?) the contributed-date
and contributing-user for every word/set of words in an article. 
There are a few nuances in getting the attribution right, but we can
at least offer a first-approximation without much work.  Figuring out
how to effectively store and render that information, is another
question...
