No. It's important that a sentence without a citation is marked
"citation needed", that a phrase containing weasel words is marked
"contains weasel words", and that a word with a spelling error is marked
"spelled wrong".

How else would the reader know there is something wrong with the text?

Of course not.

By the way, I've just added 

    .Template-Fact {display:none}

to my monobook.css, just after ".cleanup {display:none}". Works well!
