Usage

[edit]

This template is added to indicate that an article or section is written in first-person or second-person. See WP:PRONOUNS.

This template has three optional fields:

article or section,
i, we, first-person (for both we and I), you, or second-person (same as "you"), and
an adverb (like inappropriately or excessively).

For instance, {{inappropriate person|section|i|excessively}} results in:

This section uses first-person (I) excessively. Please help rewrite it to use a more formal, encyclopedic tone.

Leaving the arguments undefined is acceptable; the template will show the default text listed on this page.

If the problem is correctable with the skills you already possess, consider being bold and fixing it yourself, rather than applying this tag and leaving it for someone else to clean up.
