In the past days, a new Wikipedia contributor edited Wikipedia and made a
great contribution, except... This user added zero sources, and the article
in what the edit was made was about a living person. So the verifiability
is a problem and in conflict with the policy Biographies of living
I couldn't agree more, it reminds me of a principle in UX/UI (can't recall
