I fall into the category satirised by XKCD (though I can't find the strip, unfortunately): if a sentence has a little blue number at the end of it I am satisfied that it is definitely true. I really need to change. But I certainly do notice if something is not referenced. Well, it's more nuanced than that. If something has NO references, I tend to read it without much critical judgement. If something is partially referenced I tend to feel dubious about the whole enterprise. And that shouldn't be. _______________________________________________ WikiEN-l mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe from this mailing list, visit: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikien-l
