Ensuring high quality sources where needed, especially science/academic topics (narrow focus)

@Slrubenstein

Well the answer is more how to achieve building of Good Quality Article in collaborative & enjoyable way.

Good Quality Article starts with Verifiability, Neutral Point of View, No Original Research and No Systemic or Cultural Bias that lead to "Reference-Driven Content" editing style which is one of "least enjoyable" way to build an article.

Collaborative because over reliance on a handful of "Key Contributors" will turn into weakness if few of them leave Wikipedia. Moreover there is also the Quality Article "Unkeep", the more Quality Article an editor create and more time he/she most devote to maintaining those articles quality level which is less time to create more quality content. So more people involved and will lessen each individual burden.

Enjoyable because contributions to Wikipedia is voluntary, we should be careful with exigences and other requirements. Setting the hurdle too high will just have people quit and not coming back for a long time.

For how i read the current trends of this Task Force it's leaning on more constraints and more reliance of "Experts" with near no acknowledgment of the fun factor.
