I still contend that we should not just be randomly removing material that  
isnt sourced. We should not be working on the assumption that the material is  
inaccurate. Rather than removing material, ask for sources or find people to  
help source it. I want us to start with the assumption that the material is  
good, unless proven otherwise, not that it is bad, unless proven good. Just  
removing people's good-faith edits is not improving wikipedia either.
