[WikiEN-l] Zero information is preferred to misleading or false information

[Jimmy Wales]

I can NOT emphasize this enough.

There seems to be a terrible bias among some editors that some sort of
random speculative "I heard it somewhere" pseudo information is to be
tagged with a "needs a cite" tag.  Wrong.  It should be removed,
aggressively, unless it can be sourced.  This is true of all
information, but it is particularly true of negative information about
living persons.

I think a fair number of people need to be kicked out of the project
just for being lousy writers.  (This is not a policy statement, just a
statement of attitude and frustration.)
