I would have no issue with that except that it borders dangerously the 
issue of OR.  How do I tell whether this stuff is real or made up?  Is 
Wikipedia striving to be a reliable source of information or a buyer 
beware one.  We already are a buyer beware one, with the existence of 
WP:CITE and WP:RS, so abolishing them won't get us anywhere different. 
Some people hope it will make us more reliable.  I wish someone would 
sort this out, though, so that I could ignore my watchlist and go back 
to creating articles.
