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

Some people who are part of an intractable conflict are also at the limits of good faith. "Good faith" means you think you honestly believe you're improving Wikipedia. But someone can honestly believe they're improving Wikipedia when they're pushing the limits of original research, or weighting towards a POV that they consider "the most reasonable". I'm actually working with the community health task force to look into the effectiveness of binding mediation, so I can't really say anything decisive about it. But I'm concerned that some people really aren't there to "negotiate" in good faith, and that they have a vested interest in avoiding reason. ... That said, improved decision making could help some of the time.
