Will, If I may ask a question.
What if I live in a place where there isn't any library for hours (or days even) via whatever transportation I have available? What if I have a library...but it's under-resourced, under-paid and there's no way I can really get books or newsletter to help cite wikipedia? What would I do then? Do I just not verify citations?
