• curprev 05:2805:28, 6 September 2022 Sdkb talk contribs 1,819 bytes −143 Mostly undid revision 1108718666 by HLHJ (talk) "editors should tag or remove uncited content only if they themselves can't find citations to verify it" doesn't seem to comport with WP:V or WP:OR. And "veracity" was used correctly.

5 September 2022

• curprev 22:1422:14, 5 September 2022 HLHJ talk contribs 1,962 bytes +115 WP:OR says that uncited statements are allowed, but I've met a lot of editors who seem not to know this, so I clarified. Also, new editors should learn how to challenge content in accordance with policy, and avoid frivolously challenging content, especially on contentious issues where this causes a lot of hostility. Edited for a bit of "verifiability, not veracity", too.
