I'm sure that my comments were consistent with the statement to which I was replying, and which you conveniently omitted. In all probability, my use of "you" might very well have been equivalent to the more stylistically awkward and Victorian use of "one". >> I am too dense to understand your language. But now that we've established that you meant "One" then yes one should replace one's own individual judgement of what is a reliable source. We do not, to my knowledge, have a list of what sources the community deems reliable, and we don't usually go through an orgy of doubt regarding each individual source we encounter. So the only mechanism by which, we can speedily gauge the value of a source is our own individual judgement. Those who have no judgement, shouldn't try to gauge the value of a source. That, Ray, is why the project wants and needs experts in each field. Those experts have the level of judgement needed to gauge sources. It's entirely probably that many non-experts do as well, but if anyone feels that they are not worthy of doing that task, then they can certainly leave it for others to do. Every place I see a citation to certain sources I know to be unreliable, I will strike it out. There is no need to cite unreliable sources, when we have right on Google Books (now) a much better and more reliable source for the subject material.
