Not yet, but it could be if someone edited the article. That's what's so great about Wikipedia!

I've seen this reasoning tossed around a lot, lately.

But usually people forget to prefix that with "if you have third party sources about this...".

If you just put assertions in the article without backing then, it's likely that someone will come and dispute (or even just delete) them.

So make everyone (including yourself) a favor and always source what you add to Wikipedia.
