Template talk:Confusing
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The "third grade" section here makes no sense. Since when do third graders get driver's licenses?
[edit] "for some readers" ?
Who wrote this template? It's horribly worded. Get rid of the "for some readers" bit. Every article will be confusing to somebody, somewhere. Maelin (Talk | Contribs) 14:49, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] this tag is useless unless. . .
. . .it is accompanied by explanation of what is confusing and why. All it says is that someone, somewhere, didn't understand some part of the article, which could have any number of causes:
- maybe the writing is abstruse and/or jargon-filled
- maybe the organization is incoherent
- maybe the topic requires a certain amount of background knowledge to understand (e.g. many mathematics articles)
- maybe the author didn't really understand the topic in the first place and is thus incapable of enlightening anyone else
- or maybe the tagger lacks basic literacy.
