Revision as of 19:43, November 5, 2008
, 19:43, November 5, 2008fact tags for numbers
I nowikied the above use of the <nowiki>{{fact}}</nowiki> tag so that this page doesn't show up in the "sources needed" (something like that, I can't remember) category. I'm always worried about getting in trouble here, to be honest, so just to be clear, should we not use the <nowiki>{{fact}}</nowiki> tags? [[User:LiamG|LiamG]] 15:41, 4 November 2008 (EST)

:On the fact tags, the only thing I object to in their use is when a user seems to insert those tags when and where (s)he likes to the point that is the only thing (s)he does, and at no time does that user go after and post relevant info that could remove the tag and help the article. My suggestion is this: if anyone inserts a fact tag within the article, then an entry must be posted as to why in the talk page; further, the user can and should do a search for any needed info, and not just an internet search only. If none is found, that fact should be added to the talk page as well. [[User:Karajou|Karajou]] 14:28, 5 November 2008 (EST)

::A statement like <blockquote>If "evolution" means the appearance of major new forms of life during pre-Biblical times, then around 60% of Americans believe in this; a substantial minority of 40% of Americans reject this aspect of evolution since it contradicts their religious belief that God created all forms of life less than 10,000 years ago.</blockquote>
::is hard to check if you don't know which original source was cited. Therefore, I inserted the <nowiki>{{fact}}-tags</nowiki>. Really, if in any article some numbers pop out from nowhere, I think that adding these tags is the appropriate thing to do.
::And this seems to be right, as the tags are ''still'' not removed after all these discussions. --[[User:BRichtigen|BRichtigen]] 14:43, 5 November 2008 (EST)
Thanks to all who get this mix-up untangled. At last, this page seems to work - I just hope that I don't have to report here to many mistakes in the future. --[[User:BRichtigen|BRichtigen]] 14:09, 5 November 2008 (EST)
