 :Regardless, Wikipedia does not operate on ""tradition"". Hell, we don't even operate on normals sometimes! Wikipedia invented it's own form of citation, and other things as well. If you don't like something here, get a WP:CONSENSUS through a WP:RFC, then the policy will change and you're free to do whatever you want in the lines of the new policy. But we don't operate on 'overruled tradition'. edits "
