I'm just concerned we don't have the same pool of expert historians here to reach the same standard. I do think we should be as rigorous as we can but I do wonder if using the other communities standards would mean just no answers to any questions.

Definitely requiring sources is a good idea though. And I'm not sure how to delineate this but making sure they're quality sources too, since there's some pretty bad historical analysis out there these days and Lemmy has a lot of partisans who will want to push their agenda over the truth.
