    Nah dawg. That’s a gaping hole in Wikipedias model and value proposition. How can THE global encyclopedia not archive its source material? What happens if all the sources get nuked? How can future historians calculate the accuracy of Wikipedia over time if the sources are not archived?

    Apart from decentralization, their focus should not only be on archiving all current and future source material, but archiving all historic source material since inception.
