> FYI, I once wrote an improvement to a Wikipedia page.  A self-appointed
vigilante came down on me and accused be of self-research (what I wrote was
as verifiable as 1+2=3). I was requested to add a link to a page saying
1+2=3.  I replied that what I said could be proved, and that, of the
existing 3 links in the page, 3 were incorrect.

That's because Wikipedia does not aim to tell the truth, they want to
summarize what can be found in other sources[1]. That's why you have to add
sources for everything except for the most trivially verifiable[2]. Even if
you know/think you're right. ;)
