Yes, but this only demonstrates a bias towards online sources.

Quite often, when I stumble by accident into an article,
perhaps interwiki-ing from/to de.wikipedia, I find dozens 
of weblinks and not a single book given, even when they are
easy to find, even for me.

At some point of time we must stop trying to evolve 
into a backup copy of the WWW and draw from other 
sources.


Regards,
Peter
