Yes this sentiment is shared Danny. But it is like Sabine said. In many 
cases you just know things. You simply forgot where you heard them. Also 
many things are sourced only in languages other than english. I have 
already seen an article on en.wikipedia deletion list which was put on 
there because it was not considered to have had a source. Its source was 
a German text which was linked! And a Dutch wikipedia article. This 
wasn't considered enough because it was not English. So if I put up a 
Thai source in Thai would it be accepted as sourced?

Some things are just common knowledge. I would much rather see a 
wikipedia editor, especially a trusted one as a source in some cases.
