Not... relevant.
 
Copyeditors are not citing nor verifying.  They are re-writing  *previously 
cited and verified* details for consistency, flow, grammar and  style.
 
IF the original writers couldn't be bothered to do it properly, that is not  
the burden of the copyeditors to fix.  It's the burden of the writers to  come 
back, and *properly* present the source material so it doesn't need to be  
fixed any more.
