: By the way, the editors at Wikipedia misunderstand and misuse citations. It adds nothing to cite the opinion of a journalist, for example. That's not an authority in any meaningful sense, and the journalist would be the first to admit it. Yet most citations on Wikipedia, including its entry about Conservapedia, are to journalist opinions.--[[User:Aschlafly|Aschlafly]] 17:12, 5 March 2007 (EST)

:: I'm not going to deal with the comment about journalists (I think it's wrong but that's not germane to this discussion), but while I agree that about the Clinton reference there is a major difference- this was Oppenheimer's area of work. To say that someone in physics did little physics work needs a citation, just as if one said that Clinton did little to advance foreign policy one would need a citation.
