So, what's the point? That if this proposal passes, we will do real damage to the Wikipedia. 11 out of the first 20 are either science or politics, and there 2261 hits so presumably this is a proposal to remove citations from 1243 articles. Yes, some are easily replaceable, I think two are Associated Press articles, so some searching finds this copy of the first entry there. But will the people enforcing the decision actually replace them? My 16 years of experience here say no, they will robotically delete the sources, spending less than 10 seconds on each one, and leaving the text uncited. The current status quo is that Fox News on science and politics is already debatable, so if a caring editor wants they can make that replacement now, but is anyone doing it? This is a proposal to throw the baby out with the bathwater. --GRuban (talk) 14:07, 5 August 2022 (UTC)
