Yes SJ you will be able to handle it in a correct matter and so will 
many other wikipedians. But you must admit we have a group of users who 
will read this and take it as a golden rule and start upsetting people. 
There are lots of wikipedians who simply do not read something as a 
whole. They just read MUST CITE and that is what they'll remember and 
they go on causing havoc. And it will be worse in other languages. More 
than once I had to stop somebody who was citing english wikipedia rules 
which are not applicable to nl.wikipedia.

Now you and me unfortunately do not have the time to watch the 
respective wikis we work on 24 hours a day. So before you start writing 
this down please thank about it.
