Forum:CT Archive/Overdue update to sourcing policy

While browsing Ferus Olin tonight, I found something odd: a ref tag in a header. Without thinking, I hit "edit" and moved the tag to the end of the single paragraph that made up the section. Then it hit me: Sourcing actually says to reference headers when the whole section can be sourced to a single source. I haven't actually seen this done in the roughly 1 1/2 years I've been on the Wook, so it seems to me that it's past time to jettison that from the policy so that the policy matches current practice.

Specifically, the proposal is to make the following changes:
 * Under "Rules"/"Reasoning", change the ref note on item 6 to read, "For articles with more than one source, start out as general as you can with the reference tags. For example, if an entire paragraph is from one and only one source, tag the end of the paragraph. However, if there is more than one source, instead tag the next level down: sentences. Finally, if that is not enough, tag individual words as necessary, as a last resort."
 * Under "Rules", delete the current item 7 and its associated ref note.
