That's my experience too. And the website is very biassed towards
published sources, even when they are wrong! Apparently, being there

It's WP policy that verifiability is more important than truth. Most
people can see this as the ridiculous logical implication of a few
overlapping draconian statements and pay no heed to it. However the
interweb exists to provide occupation for obsessional teenagers and as
WP provides them with a power space they wouldn't normally be taken
seriously in, many do latch on to stupidities like this.

Land Speed Record is probably one of the worst articles on there.
