[Foundation-l] Can anyone really edit Wikipedia?

[Christiano Moreschi]

The problem isn't cite templates as such. It's including cite templates in the main body of text that's the problem. The issue here is people thinking it's clever to jam their "notes" section and their "references" section together. If you have two separate sections, then all that has to go in the ref tags (and consequently in the main body of text) is the author's name and page number, as the full reference is already listed elsewhere. This makes editing the article possible.
