what if you put 5 links to different articles by different authors that all say the same thing?

Well since it's posted on the internet it has to be true, right? I mean not anyone can just post things on the internet it is very secure and only qulaified people can post stuff...

There's a difference between putting a short summary (1-2 paragraphs) and citing a source for more, versus posting only a link to some foreign website and expecting people to go blindly without even knowing what the subject matter is.
The opposite is just as bad, posting a 10 page cut-and-paste question. If you can't summarize the issue in 1-2 paragraphs (plus a cite) then it's not something that can be answered in just a few paragraphs either.

So don't post links. Many of us don't want to read a book on a topic when a paragraph will satisfy us.

All you can do is try. Some of us read some of them depending on the topic. There are many who "think" they know the answer to your question.You well may make a point and they may have to admit they are wrong but I wouldn't bet the house on it. I guess they like burying their heads in the sand.

I don't need to go to the page you copied your info from.
