Per this discussion - by demanding that copies of print sources be sent to the the GA reviewer, this drives to the removal of high quality reliable sources and the ownership of articles to ensure that the article only has references that are in the possession of the nominator. This will do nothing to improve the encyclopedia, and will instead produce poorer articles with easy to find sources. If good edits won't be kept just because they use print sources and someone in the future wants the gratification of GAs and the Kudos and influence that goes with it) then I'm not sure I see the point in editing at all, considering most of my edits do use print sources of some sort and so are considered inferior.Nigel Ish (talk) 22:55, 4 October 2024 (UTC)
