*I like the concept, don't like the execution, without any warning or asking.  My problem is, the changes made are an open invitation to Rational Wiki to flood all articles with requests for citations. It is not made clear, or wasn't when I read the changes some time ago now (and maybe they have been recently edited) how many are enough?  I have always added the cite template when their are none, or simply did the job of a sysop and added them myself.  However if there are two citations on a short article, does that merit the template?  We will end up with a list with 10,000 articles on it, if we fail to give very specific instructions, and not the vague ones presently there. --[[User:TK|<small>Sysop-</small>TK]] _{[[User_talk:TK|--Talk 2 Me]]} 16:44, 29 July 2007 (EDT)

:Conservative, TK makes a valid point about flooding articles with this template, similar to what we've seen with the <nowiki>{{stub}}</nowiki> template. I do think it would be helpful in certain situations, like the Homosexuality article or other lengthy articles. --[[User:Crocoite|Crocoite]] 16:56, 29 July 2007 (EDT)

:::TK and Crocoite, while I certainly agree with the fact that Conservapedia has enemies, I do think that we should not allow them to impede efforts to improve Conservapedia that are clearly warranted.  Second, the uncited template is only to be used on articles or sections of articles that are COMPLETELY uncited.  I cleary indicate this on the instructions for the template. Third, we do not allow the use of robots on Conservapedia so I don't think we can be flooded with uncited templates. However, if the Rational Wiki people want to take the man hours away from creating vandalism to helping us put uncited templates (that are tastefully designed) on articles I would applaud their helpful efforts as they will only help us gain higher search engine rankings.

::::We do know of new editors that have been happy to add stub templates to most articles, then later Andy mentioned he thought they were being overused. I see the same potential problem with the uncited template. I don't think it would be helpful to add the template to small articles, such as [[Dusty Plasma]]. I think it should be limited to medium length articles, such as [[Peter Bourne]] or lengthy articles like [[Global warming]]. --[[User:Crocoite|Crocoite]] 17:22, 29 July 2007 (EDT)

*The problem was caused by Conservative misplacing a no-wiki tag. I repaired it.  --[[User:TK|<small>Sysop-</small>TK]] _{[[User_talk:TK|--Talk 2 Me]]} 14:38, 30 July 2007 (EDT)
