This article exactly demonstrates what is wrong with WP

Although this article was created in 2007, 17 years ago, and has received the attention of 35 different editors/bots according to Xtools, it still has exactly 0 (nil) references, and I added a {{no refs}} tag. Everlasting shame upon you all. However, since I have as much interest in rugby players as in species of minute sea snails, villages in Iran (pop. 207) and death metal bands, I shan't be editing this article. Nevertheless, to show willing, here are some urls which someone might find useful. I think James has a page on Linkedin which might confirm some details, but I'm not registered and it;s not a WP:RS. Almost all internet search hits for James include the phrase "a product of the Gloucester Rugby Academy", probably taken from this article. There may be more than one rugby player called Ali James. The penultimate link (in Czech) has a little more info, but I really am not interested in finding out any more or piecing together what seems to be an interesting career.
