Template talk:Unreliable sources

411:, and I've seen no real reason to buy the argument that cleanup templates are inherent badges of shame (no matter how many bad analogies NewsAndEventsGuy has been able to throw at me). You're reading too much into this verbiage; if there are indeed many bad sources in an article, then that is a perfectly legitimate reason to use a cleanup template that says so. Yes, it's great if the tagger has the time to use inline tags on specific sources, but if the problem is general, then a general tag isn't faux pas. Nobody is discrediting an entire topic by saying that the sourcing in its article has issues. I suppose this "some or all" phrasing is a legitimate reason to start an RFC, but this can also easily be seen as tendentious, stirring up a fake outrage for no real reason. The cleanup template's phrasing is already very much watered down, and saying it's oh-so-ghastly is basically assuming bad faith on the part of everyone who uses it. -- 959: 22: 133: 894: 71: 53: 1157: 1061: 847: 722: 644: 1202: 692: 790: 446:
Joy, do you have any suggestions for possible modifications? Also, this isn't really "a fake outrage for no real reason" - I encountered an example that shows how this tag could cause problems with very sensitive topics, and started a RfC from that. As for the deletion suggestion - it could be messy

I'm entirely unimpressed by your assertion that the tagging of the concentration camp article is a sensitive matter in any way, shape or form. Some people think history articles are sensitive; some other people will think that some other topic about society, philosophy, physics, math, ... toasters,

I can't say I especially care for this template. I'd much prefer that specific sources of concern be addressed than to blanket an article in this manner. Alternately, I wouldn't necessarily oppose revising the template to link to an appropriate Talk page discussion and read to the effect that "Some

Which is not to say that it's impossible to use a cleanup tag in a duplicitous manner - it is, and in any such case, that's primarily a behavioral issue with the specific user who does so, not a general problem with the tools that they use to abuse Knowledge (XXG). -- 470:... is sensitive. This kind of thinking is a slippery slope into self-censorship because oh my, what if someone infers something offensive from whatever we edit? It's just pointless and it's against policy - you need to assume good faith - 517:
I would think that would be as easy as modifying the template to simply read "section" rather than article. In any case, if you place the template in the appropriate section I suspect most editors will know what you're aiming for.
