[edit] Driveby tag
Wikipedia policy states:
Drive-by tagging is strongly discouraged. The editor who adds the tag must address the issues on the talk page, pointing to specific issues that are actionable within the content policies, namely Wikipedia:Neutral point of view, Wikipedia:Verifiability, Wikipedia:No original research and Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons. Simply being of the opinion that a page is not neutral is not sufficient to justify the addition of the tag. Tags should be added as a last resort.
The policy also states that:
To mark a dispute on a page, type
 |
The neutrality of this article is disputed. Please see the discussion on the talk page.(December 2007) Please do not remove this message until the dispute is resolved. |
, which expands into:
 The neutrality of this article is disputed. Please see the discussion on the talk page. Please do not remove this message until the dispute is resolved.
(edit: Template:POV ) Please note: The above label is meant to indicate that a discussion is ongoing, and hence that the article contents are disputed and volatile. If you add the above code to an article which seems to be biased to you, but there is no prior discussion of the bias, you need to at least leave a note on the article's talk page describing what you consider unacceptable about the article. The note should address the problem with enough specificity to allow constructive discussion towards a resolution, such as identifying specific passages, elements, or phrasings that are problematic.
Another related boilerplate is

This article has been nominated to be checked for its neutrality. Discussion of this nomination can be found on the talk page. (December 2007) |
:
 This article has been nominated to be checked for its neutrality. Discussion of this nomination can be found on the talk page.
(edit: Template:POV check ) Use this boilerplate when there is no active discussion of a dispute on the talk page, but the article does not appear to conform to NPOV guidelines. You should explain what's wrong with the article on the talk page.
Because there is no discussion or dispute, I have replaced the "dispute" tag with a "POV check" tag. Thanks.David Justin 14:44, 8 October 2007 (UTC)
