[WikiEN-l] An expert's perspective - Tim Bray on editing the XML article

I would agree with Carcharoth's below statement.
Every editor should edit from reliable sources.  Every editor, expert 
or not, must understand that they themselves are not a source which can 
be cited.  If a statement is tagged as needing a source, and no source 
is provided, in an reasonable time, that statement can be removed by 
any editor.

It's striking a balance between experts who WP:OWN articles and revert
"ignorant" editors who "don't know what they are talking about", and
requiring experts to carefully explain everything. Ideally, you would
tell both lots to edit based on reliable sources, not from their own
authority.
