Articles without inline citations

[edit]

These articles should be tagged with {{more footnotes}}

Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 08:19, 23 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for pointing this out. As you can see here, this is something of which I was already aware and planning to rectify. With the exception of Yaesu VX series (a merge I performed after a non-admin merge close last weekend), all of these pagespaces are early work, pages I haven't edited in several years, but planned to repair over time. BusterD (talk) 10:58, 23 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I have a number of older articles that also lack inline cites. I concur that inline cites are preferable to a list of references at the end of the article and akin to BusterD had been planning on updating those articles but have been (in my case) slow to address this.MONGO 12:28, 23 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
You are not running for adminship - yet ;) Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 12:59, 23 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
What I was trying and fail to address was that those older articles started by BusterD were generally compliant with the standards of 3-4 years ago and its easy to get sidetracked from revisiting them to make upgrades. Therefore, I don't see it as an indication he was being lazy. The biggest reason I nominated BusterD to be an admin is because I know he can be a leader, particularily in areas where others may be in conflict...in fact, he has even told me a time or two to cool out. The fact that even someone he had some disagreements with in the past (Gwen Gale) is now here as a conominator is significant in my eyes. Granted, there is some questions in regards to BusterD's grasp of afd concensus, but I have to confess, he has told me privately that he has no intention (should he become an admin) of closing any others unless its a SNOW keep/delete until he has a better grasp of the process. I have no doubt BusterD would do all he could to NOT misuse his tools...or his authority.MONGO 16:01, 23 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Instead of tagging, add the cites or make a talkpage comment. It's obvious if an article lacks cites and we should not deface our content with these official looking boxes that are editorial comments. People know we have user content and half finished content. It is obvious.TCO (talk) 16:07, 23 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

@MONGO: We don't judge candidates on the standards of years ago either. Note that I refrained from tagging these articles, but I probably will now.
@TCO, if you read my rationale, you would have seen that the candidate has the books, which makes adding refs particularly easy for him. Admins are expected to lead by example, and if they have created content, it will be assessed if their work is a good example. I don't see why anyone else should want to clean up after an RfA candidate. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 22:29, 23 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Hum...well, you can do as you wish...I really can't see how this issue is relevent to his admin bid, though you did raise other issues that are admin specific. Least he wrote some articles, as way to many admin candidates seem to be mostly worried about the admin power trip and little about content. Perhaps you should review policy as to WP:V...there it clearly states that "To show that it is not original research, all material added to articles must be attributable to a reliable, published source appropriate for the content in question, but in practice you do not need to attribute everything. This policy requires that all quotations and anything challenged or likely to be challenged be attributed in the form of an inline citation that directly supports the material"...in other words, least as far as I read it...inline cites are only expected IF the article mentions something that is a quote or likely to be challenged.--MONGO 03:52, 24 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
