Hi,
warrants deletion. But my point is this: I believe verifiability should and will be achieved through a collaborative process.
You make some very good points. One concern I have is that we lack the tools for users to share their tentative sources. Where exactly would a user note "Think I this in one of Chomsky's earlier works"? In the comment? In a <!-- comment -->? Starting a separate section on the talk page just for a single sentence?
It would be good to have some kind of understood process for how claims are first described as verifiable/unverifiable, then become verified/unverified. This process is extremely haphasard at the moment.
