Good!

It didn't take long for people to start screwing it up though.  My 
understanding of the project is that it was for '''original sources'''. 
 Already somebody has moved in a number of lists that properly belong on 
Wikipedia, an undocumented piece of quasi-Latin, and a purported 
questionnaire from Marcel Proust of uncertain copyright status.  

I think some people need to learn the meaning of "original source", as 
well as how to document what they put in.
