What's wrong with adding a reference after each sentence?

Hoping that your mind won't blow, here's a very well-sourced example:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Romanian_general_election%2C_1946

Wikipedia's purpose, as said by Jimbo, is not to be a wiki, not to be
a community, but to simply create an encyclopedia. The rest are simply
means towards a goal.

Maybe you are the one on the wrong encyclopedia: Wikipedia requires
verifiability as an official policy.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Verifiability

And it's not Nupedia, everyone still can edit it, but one should add
the *source* of the addition.
