And it goes above and beyond just WP.  Citations of claims,
inferences/conclusions/derived statements, and non-obvious factual
statements (that is, not common knowledge [taking the arbitrary nature
of "common knowledge" into consideration, of course]) are simply an
academic "must" if you aim to be taken seriously.  That's how I
interpret relevant Wikipedia policies, and how I apply them.
