[edit]

This template was created as a result of discussion at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Good articles/Unreferenced GA task force#Types_of_referencing_problems. — Armed Blowfish (talk|mail) 02:58, 3 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Revert on wording change please

[edit]

I'm requesting that the wording be changed back. The issue at hand is not that the information is not verifiable--it is that it isn't verified. It doesn't matter if it can be verified--if the information is verifiable--if someone who reads the article can verify the information--the issue is that the information hasn't already been verified and presented as such. This new wording is bad--able and already done are too very different things and our policies require that we do it--not that we are able to.

Okay, I changed it back. The page isn't protected though. —Centrxtalk • 04:02, 15 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Wow--you're totally right, I think I was editing too many templates at once and had a little brain rot there. Weird. Thanks though. Miss Mondegreen | Talk   04:52, 15 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I've created the exact same template as this, basically...

Template:Unreliablesources ...--h i s s p a c e r e s e a r c h 19:23, 3 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

This template needs a link to the talk page of the article, where the editor lists what sources he considers unreliable, and where other editors may add their opinions. Said: Rursus 12:18, 4 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Done. SchuminWeb (Talk) 23:09, 23 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Redirected to {{refimprove}} per TFD

[edit]

I have redirected this template to {{refimprove}} because it is practically identical to {{not verified}}, which underwent a TFD discussion with the result "redirect". In the TFD, there is strong consensus that this template (a) doesn't assume good faith, (b) is superfluous to other templates, especially {{refimprove}}, and (c) is misleading. szyslak 00:56, 9 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Here's the pre-redirect version of {{not verified}}: [1] szyslak 00:59, 9 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
