    [edit] Sources

    All people on the list have to be sourced. GreenJoe 16:13, 9 September 2007 (UTC)

    All the people listed here in turn cite that they are from the University of Saskatchewan in each of their articles. Each article in their own right has been externally cited to references. Is this not a duplication of work, or perhaps a perjury of work done in each individual article. If there were no wiki link to each person and not referenced article on Wikipedia, then if the person was just a red link or a name listed, then - yes a source is required - Researching with Wikipedia Please help with this requirement. There are other lists created - which are just that lists - without sources - I won't list them all here, but there are wikilists where each entry has not got a reference just each listing has an article which is referenced.

    There are lots of lists out there that aren't cited, but they should be. All the lists that are featured, are cited. It's good practice. I used to be of the same opinion as you, I thought it was ok if it was only cited in the person's article. Reality is, sometimes that info gets removed, so it has to be cited in the list. The reader doesn't want to have to search for the citation. GreenJoe 03:59, 25 September 2007 (UTC)
