[Foundation-l] Enforcing WP:CITE

I think there is a good deal of un-necessary panic going around about
this USA Today thing.  Did it really tell us anything new?  No. 
Misinformation in rarely visited articles has ALWAYS been a problem.

It's also not nearly as amenable to any kind of automated process as
image tagging.

Let's not run around like headless chickens because some journalist
found that conspiracy-theorist things had been put into his Wikipedia
article.

Fact is: Wikipedia's improving.  At quite a tremendous rate, in fact. 
It's easy to forget (a) the magnitude of the task, and (b) how bad we
were even a year ago.
