[WikiEN-l] insist on sources

[Jimmy Wales]

"The defining moment for Sergey, however, was when he met future
co-president of Google, Larry Page. Sergey was assigned to show Larry
around the university on a weekend tour. Reportedly, they did not get on
well to begin with, arguing about every topic they discussed, and even
throwing a few pies at each other."

Is that true?  Is it not true?  As a reader of Wikipedia, I have no easy
way to know.  If it is true, it should be easy to supply a reference.
If it is not true, it should be removed.

I really want to encourage a much stronger culture which says: it is
better to have no information, than to have information like this, with
no sources.  Any editor who removes such things, and refuses to allow it
back without an actual and appropriate source, should be the recipient
of a barnstar.
