As near as I can tell, the process works something like this. Someone inserts material. Right, wrong, or muddled, it isn't sourced. Someone else comes along, is too lazy or busy to correct the material, and decides to slap an "unreferenced" on the whole thing. Then a third person comes along and attempts to deal with the unreferenced tag.

The third person's job is the hardest. It's easy to write without sources, and it's even easier to type bracket bracket unreferenced bracket bracket. It's hard to find sources in any case, harder when it's not clear what someone else

or narrow judgments about the dates of plays--or at least it requires making premature or narrow judgments consistently. This is more than a one-person job however.
