I did what I thought was the best kind of search on en:wp relating to
your reply, and it returns a lot of salient, but not specific project,
pages.

I found this:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:UNSOURCED#Burden_of_evidence

Earlier on today I found the 'RFC' pages.

I'm interested in dispute resolution. I quite like the idea of getting
involved in arguments as someone who, basically, doesn't know their
arse from their elbow as regards the dispute that's in progress.

For example, there's some big argument going on to do with the History
of Transylvania... I have absolutely no interest in the history of
Transylvania at all, so I try to bring the contentious parties back to
the specific  point of what they're arguing about, and then try to
draw the discussion back to Wikipedia policies, mainly verifiability.

If you can give me a link to a specific (project) page that you're
thinking of with regard to unsourced claims, please do.
