[WikiEN-l] Wikipedia as print source

"The barber shaves every many who shaves himself."

The problem here is article and source, of if-you-will source and 
meta-source.

We can certainly impugn a source using ad-hoc methods.  We have no firm 
guidelines for how we credit or discredit a source.  So we can certainly state and 
try to achieve consensus on the idea that this book is not itself a reliable 
source.  If someone wants a *source* for that, they should realize they are up 
on the meta level now, not in article space.
