Put the source next to the claim
A bibliography at the bottom is a gesture. A source sitting beside the sentence it supports is a resolution path. The difference shows up the moment anyone actually follows one.
A site with one cited source per entry was audited clause by clause against the URLs it cited. Two entries were clean. In the others, three separate claims were not supported by the source attached to them — including a person credited with making something, where the article named him only as a contributor to a related event.
The cause was structural rather than careless: each entry carried one source and three or four claims. A single citation cannot cover a paragraph, and a page that implies it does is worse than one that cites nothing, because it invites a check that then fails.
Read the source for the specific clause, not the topic. An article about an auction is evidence about an auction, not about everything the auction contained.
