Wikipedia talk:Please clarify

Why was [what?] merged into this template?

The "what" tag was useful by itself. It needs to be split off and display the word ^[what?] once more.

Someone, please, explain why a redirect from clarify to here is offensive.

Thank You,

Rewording essay phrases

15-Oct-2007: I revised, focused the essay-style wording to be more results-oriented, rather than musing so much about the various issues, but I left the Mark Twain quotes to retain variety. Tagging of articles has produced marginal improvements, and several editors have concluded that more specific steps should be detailed which could yield improvements: just saying an article is "too technical" or "confusing" does not seem to generate improvements, even with 2 years of waiting. After editing 6,000+ articles, I have seen many methods to improve readability, which I have described on the page, such as: adding a diagram; adding a wikitable or list; etc. -Wikid77 12:38, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

I would like to know who is responsable for obtaining the acreditation at the schools? Is it the owner, the president, is someone assigned? How does it work? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.174.71.67 (talk) 04:54, 19 October 2010 (UTC)

The same box

15-Oct-2007: At the top of that page, I have purposely repeated the same box (for both {{clarify}} and {{confusing}}), to catch attention and indicate those boxes are not tagging the "Please-clarify" article as confusing. Also, the "[clarify]" superscripts are repeated, to support potential future changes, so the exact live results are being shown for each template, in case they are modified, someday, to differ slightly. -Wikid77 14:35, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

Suggestions

I've suggested this elsewhere, but I suppose once more won't hurt. I think the "clarify" link should take you to somewhere where the editor who inserted it actually explains what clarification is needed. And that should be a link to a specific talk page section, not just to the top of the page. Linking to this page is pretty useless IMO. I also believe that the text should read "clarification needed" and not "clarify". It's unfortunately quite a bit longer, but "clarify" either reads as a curt order or gives the impression that you can click on the link and the text will be somehow clarified.

Known Faults (Obsolete)

Obsolete: Use of the clarifyme template, i.e. , within an italicized paragraph causes that paragraph to run horizontally off the right of the page without wrapping onto subsequent lines in some browsers, as shown here.

Response

• Wraps correctly on Firefox 1.5.0. [Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8.0.12) Gecko/20080419 CentOS/1.5.0.12-0.15.el4.centos Firefox/1.5.0.12 pango-text] --Falcorian ^(talk) 19:05, 23 June 2008 (UTC)
• Also wraps correctly in IE7.0. --Aervanath lives in the Orphanage 07:52, 21 July 2008 (UTC)

It has been fixed --Farry (talk) 07:33, 24 July 2008 (UTC)

More examples

I propose template:moreexamples to add to confusing articles (the confusion is mainly because of lack of specific examples). --Nopetro (talk) 07:45, 23 March 2009 (UTC)

Is Clarification Needed?

What if you want to dispute that clarification is needed at all? Alexandergreenb (talk) 03:27, 24 March 2010 (UTC)

Then you open a discussion about it on the talk page. ᛭ LokiClock (talk) 21:17, 24 March 2010 (UTC)

Specific clarification - Watering hole

The section asks for places where templates for specific clarifications reside. The ones I know of are all at Category:Inline cleanup templates. But how is {{where}} inappropriate for the clarification in question? Was the author of that statement thrown off by the association with {{Globalize}}? I consider that I could not have understood the nature of the templates desired, so I will not rewrite the section myself. ᛭ LokiClock (talk) 21:22, 24 March 2010 (UTC)

MY QUESTION

Please post the answer on my discussion page NNkarnani (talk) NIKUNJ KARNANI 11:41, 12 September 2011 (UTC)

• This talk page is for the "please clarify" template, not obstack. User:PlaysWithLife asked for clarification in this edit. You should inquire on that editor's talk page. -- DanielPenfield (talk) 13:58, 12 September 2011 (UTC)
