[edit]

Adding comments like "This is completely wrong" to the text of an article is not an appropriate way to dispute the contents of an article. If you think a particular statement is wrong, and if it is unsourced, you can either flag it with Template:cn or simply be bold and remove it -- unsourced material, particularly if you think it is wrong, can be removed at any time.

If a particular statement is sourced but you believe the statement is nonetheless wrong, you should flag it with Template:dubious and then open a talk page discussion explaining why you think it is mistaken. Editors can then discuss the material and come to a consensus on whether it is wrong.

If you think the problems with an article are not limited to individual statements, then opening a talk page discussion and explaining your concerns is the appropriate course of action.

Keep in mind that statements in a lead (the introductory section of an article) are not usually cited unless they are direct quotes or are unusually controversial. The lead is supposed to summarize the body of the article, and supporting citations are required there.

I hope you find this helpful. --Kent G. Budge (talk) 15:39, 25 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
