If the source is fabricated by which I take it you mean the information isnt actually supported by the source being cited rather than the source not actually existing thats a whole other kettle of fish In that case replace the cite with a  or simply remove both cite and cited information But if the information is indeed in the source then I simply cant agree that a poor citation is worse than no citation A poor citation is at least a step up from we have no idea if this was just dreamed up out of thin air Frankly Im still convinced that the articles quality has been damaged by this and I cant really understand the position the rest of you guys are taking on the talk page  it seems to have shifted several times and none of them make sense But Im tired of this one little detail so whatever Ive got lots of other things to work on instead Just please bear in mind next time you encounter a citation that has a wikilink in it that it might actually be citing the named source itself rather than the Wikipedia article about that source
