    Disagree. We all add data which abides by certain rules &
    criteria. We vet it ourselves as we're adding it. If a contributor
    fails to do that, they should be expected to justify the reasons.
    This hasn't occurred. That they still exist as historical documents
    is not a viable argument.<br>
