Wikipedia has a funny idea of obtaining evidence and providing "proof" of statements made on its pages... that is, if one wished to fake a citation, one only need create a citation anywhere and then cite it in Wikipedia. Further, if the ghost evaluators of Wikipedia want something "proven" or cited, then it is up to them to do the research to get that... otherwise leave the page alone.
