I was thinking of an idea that articles could be
trimmed down to what's been
sourced and the longer (albeit unsourced) article could go to some sort of
Crappopedia where it awaits confirmation. Stuff that is confirmed with a
source could be added back. That way, Wikipedia could maintain integrity and
the other wiki could be a development grounds.

Assuming that there's no specific reason to doubt the material,
months and months.
The _only_ objections to this I can think of is that that the tags
are ugly--which is true but susceptible to a technical fix--or that
we are not serious about verifiability and don't truly want to
restrict Wikipedia content to things that are supported by published
material.
I don't think deleting accurate, high-quality, unreferenced material
is in Wikipedia's best interests. Asking for a source, yes. Adding
sources, yes. But *deleting* good material? No.
