What people are we talking about here - average internet users? And what if there really was a "citation needed" next to that name? Does that increase the trustworthiness of Wikipedia?

Even if you have not, there are many jokes on [citation needed] floating around in the 'net, especially the one of xkcd, and it is probable you have read most or all jokes of xkcd. It is weird that you didn't know about [citation needed]. It is certainly probable that you have seen a [citation needed] clause somewhere in Wikipedia.
