Doesn't work too well with paper sources. It is unreasonable to expect
people to spend large amount of time in a libiary before deciding
which bits are and which bits are not sourced particularly if the
article is expanded in more than one go or I decide to expand the
[[Salisbury and Southampton Canal]] article using Edwin Welch's  "The
Bankrupt Canal"
