a visit to a third country to see a facility there is hardly an example of bilateral relations. this is the type of barrel scraping from googling country X and Y and trying to insert factoids. LibStar (talk) 12:55, 29 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I am assuming you are referring to a factoid as an isolated fact. Wikipedia doesn't care if 10 facts come from 1 source or 10 sources. Mathematically they represent the same depth of coverage. Having all 10 facts come from a single source is convenient for the person writing the article, it is much less work. I would say taking 10 facts from 10 sources to generate an article is an example of the best research in Wikipedia. It is what makes Wikipedia useful as an integrated source of information. Anyone can read hundreds, even thousands of concise articles on previously researched topics on the Internet. Wikipedia provides topics that are notable and verifiable and includes ones that have not been previously integrated into a single narrative. --Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) (talk) 22:41, 30 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
