WHy DiD i wRiTE diz?

edit

I found that after reading WP:CS, it was disguistingly long. And many WP articles cites disguisting sources. :(

They should replace that with this simple phrase: "All that we care is the information, how did it (the source) get that information (i.e. origin)? what can influence the contents (i.e. influence)?" as simple as that.

Another is: Thou shalt find "all" primary sources even if its exhaustive.

Willfull violation
