Template:POV-check/doc

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is a documentation subpage for Template:POV-check (see that page for the template itself).
It contains usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page.

Use this template to request that an article be checked for POV ("Point of View"). For POV issues which are disputed, use the {{POV}} template instead. For more information, see Wikipedia:NPOV dispute ("NPOV" is an abbreviation for "Neutral Point of View").

[edit] Usage

Place {{POV-check}} at the top of the suspect article, then explain your reasons on the article's talk page. To specify the section of the talk page, use {{POV-check|talk page section name}}. Articles using this template as shown above are placed into Category:NPOV disputes.

This template can take an optional date parameter in the format {{POV-check|date = <month> <year>}} or {{POV-check|talk page section name|date = <month> <year>}}. If the date is not included it will probably be added later by a WP:BOT. Articles using this template with a date are added to Category:NPOV disputes from <month> <year>.

[edit] Example using current date

Template:

{{POV-check|date=June 2008}}

Output:

 This article has been nominated to be checked for its neutrality.
Discussion of this nomination can be found on the talk page. (June 2008)
