    The editors are right. Why would I want a paragraph of garbage at the top of the page that is clearly labeled “unverified”, that I then have to scroll past to find the information that people already tell me is non-credible because it’s not explicitly from a published journal.

    I fucking hate when Google does it, but I don’t donate to Google. If Wikipedia starts making it harder to access the information they host, I’m not going to support that either.
