DOY change to pending changes reviewer instructions[edit]
Should the following change be added to the reviewing pending change process?
Reviewers should note that all new entries added to days of the year articles require a direct citation per WP:DOYCITE.
Background (DOY change to pending changes reviewer instructions)[edit]
In October 2017, a discussion at WP:WikiProject Days of the year reached consensus that day-of-the-year articles are not exempt from WP:V and that Any material lacking a reliable source directly supporting it may be removed and should not be restored without an inline citation to a reliable source.
WP:DOYCITE and WP:DOYSTYLE were updated to include that language.
In July 2019, the language Please note that when reviewing days of the year pages, all new additions require a direct citation per WP:DOYCITE.
was added to WP:RPC.
There has been an objection to the addition of this language on the grounds that it contradicts WP:RPC, specifically It is not necessary for you to ensure compliance with the content policies on neutral point of view, verifiability and original research before accepting
.
Opinions (DOY change to pending changes reviewer instructions)[edit]
If the wording you are proposing is "Please note that when reviewing days of the year pages, all new additions require a direct citation per WP:DOYCITE", as above, I can't agree with the proposal because it's ungrammatical. I think what you mean is, "Reviewers should note that all new entries added to Days of the Year articles require a direct citation per WP:DOYCITE." Deb (talk) 17:55, 12 June 2020 (UTC)
- Deb, I just pasted the content that was added in 2019; that's how WP:RPC read all along, until the dispute. I'm fine with your wording though...PackMecEng, you? Schazjmd (talk) 17:58, 12 June 2020 (UTC)
