- Template:1911 POV (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)
All articles tagged with this maintenance template have been cleaned up. There are currently 0 transclusions. It is very unlikely there will ever be another tranclusion because there are few or no copied 1911 Encyclopedia Britannica articles left to be checked. I would like to propose that the template be redirected to Template:POV. Alpha_Quadrant (talk) 02:17, 21 December 2011 (UTC)
- Merge to {{POV}} as {{POV/EB1911}} and with a switch "|EB1911=yes" to activate the variant. As EB1911 is a frequently used resource for building articles in the world at large, we should expect that once in a while someone will do it. 76.65.128.198 (talk) 05:38, 21 December 2011 (UTC)
This template addresses the same issue as Template:Unbalanced. There is just a minor wording difference between the two. I would like to propose that the two templates be merged together. Alpha_Quadrant (talk) 01:51, 21 December 2011 (UTC)
- They're not interchangeable. {{Unbalanced}} specifically addresses viewpoints and indicated an editorial bias from the point of view of one side of an argument; {{Cleanup-weighted}} addresses subject matter, and is useful on those occasions where an article is biased not in terms of editorial opinion, but more in terms of the importance given to specific parts of the subject. If the article on Bill Clinton was primarily written as an attack article, dealing with his bad points but not his good, it would require {{unbalanced}}. If it dealt with his time as Governor of Arkansas more than his presidency, it would need {{cleanup-weighted}}. Grutness...wha? 04:06, 21 December 2011 (UTC)
- Comment they don't seem the same to me. {{Unbalanced}} is a {{POV}} template, while {{cleanup-weighted}} is different, such as an article on Kazakhstan covering the national hockey team for 90% of the text, clearly overly weighted to one aspect, but not necessarily unbalanced towards any particularly viewpoint. Rather, {{unbalanced}} should be merged with {{POV}} (say with "|unbalanced=yes" to add additional text to the POV message, or switch it out for a subtemplate {{POV/unbalanced}} ). 76.65.128.198 (talk) 05:42, 21 December 2011 (UTC)
I have added section parameters to three main maintenance templates. Now that the main templates have support for sections, these individual section templates are fairly redundant to the main templates. I would like to propose that:
- Template:POV-check-section be redirected to Template:POV-check
- Template:Generalize-section be redirected to Template:Generalize
- Template:COI-section be redirected to Template:COI Alpha_Quadrant (talk) 01:27, 21 December 2011 (UTC)}}
- I second this proposal. Especially since these templates are relatively seldom used, and the usage of a
|section
parameter is widely spread. Debresser (talk) 01:43, 21 December 2011 (UTC)
- Template:PD-music (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)
Redundant with the more-general Template:PD-old. Carnildo (talk) 00:57, 21 December 2011 (UTC)
- Template:Non-free Minnesota Historical Society image (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)
