Hello Marek69, thank you for your offer. I'm taking you up on that. I was recently viewing the Transitions to be completed in 2011 section of an article about the transition to digital terrestrial broadcasting, and encountered the sentence "80% of the population will be able to see TNT in 2008." Besides being outdated (it's 2011 now), the claim also seems to be unverifiable and speculative in nature. The page doesn't link to any verifiable sources who may confirm the claim, and the future tense indicates that it was so even before 2008. THerefore, I think the sentence should be removed. Do you agree with me? Snoopy18 (talk) 09:25, 25 May 2011 (UTC)
- No idea. If you believe that the article should be modified, be bold and go ahead and make the change, but be sure to build consensus if there's disagreement. We also have a few different ways of tagging unsourced statements, including
{{fact}}
and{{dubious}}
if you're not sure whether the statement should simply be removed or flagged as being possibly inaccurate. You could also ask for comments on the article's talk page to see if someone else knows about it or might have a source. Cheers =) --slakr\ talk / 10:24, 25 May 2011 (UTC)
