View submission: We're back! And We've Brought Updates

Very much in support of these changes, and appreciate the time and care taken to communicate them so clearly and openly.

As far as "Recommending Sources" and citations more generally: I don't know if it's the public's lack of understanding of the field (as compared to "science" or "history") or what, but I've recently noticed an uptick in answers that end with "and here are some unformatted links to journal articles that maybe sorta have something to do with the topic".

Curious if anyone on the mod team has had a similar experience lately.

I haven't noticed that specifically. I've noticed that people occasionally link to non-scientific sources and I'm not a fan, but I've been trying to carefully wade through those and see whether the article was written by or in consultation with someone in the 4 fields of anthropology.
