Wikipedia:Wikipedia Articles are not Couches
Appearance
This is an essay. It contains the advice or opinions of one or more Wikipedia contributors. This page is not an encyclopedia article, nor is it one of Wikipedia's policies or guidelines, as it has not been thoroughly vetted by the community. Some essays represent widespread norms; others only represent minority viewpoints. |
An editor thinks something might be wrong with this page. That editor won't actually make any effort to fix it, but can rest assured that they've done their encyclopedic duty by sticking on a tag. Do not remove under penalty of law. Allow this tag to languish indefinitely at the top of the page, since nobody knows exactly what the tagging editor was worked up about. |
If an Article appears neat and tidy but still has an Infobox saying the Article needs to be cleaned up, Be Bold and remove it. If an Article has Citations up the Wazoo, but an Infobox says it needs citations, remove it. These "Tags" (inspiration for the title) are often never removed when they should be because people don't think they're the best judgement for saying they're no longer necessary. But of course, use common sense here.
