    It’s a balance to hit in article sharing communities too.
    Too much leniency, and you just end up with people posting DMG articles, and tiny un-sourced blogs with snazzy titles.
    Too tough, and you end up spending your entire life justifying why various borderline sources are not suitable.

      Imo, in a perfect world, if everyone cited their sources, there would be a perfect chain of sources that leads directly to the original. If one collectively cited source was found to be inaccurate, then, logically, all connected references would be nullified.
