Potential Factors
Not ready to contribute this yet - just a couple of thoughts as I prepare my day that I don't have time to polish and don't want to throw into the main box yet. 1) There's the hard core IB proponent, 2) The hard core no-IB proponent, and 3) the lone editors who just wander into the discussion for the first time.  Also, a person who feels inclusion on one article may be deletion on the next.  And in the audiences section could also contain both the depth bio reader and the individual looking for one fast common fact (call that the bar-bet reader?)

OTOH, anything in an Infobox is probably not a citation-worthy fact.  OTOOH, with the possibility of vandalism maybe we nevertheless don't want to encourage students to get their facts from Wikipedia.  (Hate to be responsible for a down-grade on a paper because someone died here rather than there....)  Laughing Vulcan Grok Page!
