Well, no, I didn't expect us to.  I guess the question is "at what point have articles changed enough from the source that it's ok to remove the citation"?  I would (today, anyway) urge people to leave the citations in and change "works cited" to "works consulted"--if for no other reason than that several notable academics have been caught plagiarizing lately.
