Part of the problem is with the permissive word "may", which is too often read as though it were "shall".
We have to assume people can read English. Saying that an unsourced edit MAY be removed is clearly not the same as saying it MUST be or SHOULD be.
I also couldn't come up with a more ambiguous expression if I tried.
Two different meanings: 1) An unsourced edit could end up being removed - be warned 2) You have the permission to remove unsourced edits
How can we better word this?
