Post-TfD

Continuing with the points made at the TfD page, perhaps this template could be re-worded in a way that explained the difference between an "unbalanced" article and one that was "NPOV". I haven't thought of any solution myself yet.-- AndrewRT 20:22, 7 August 2006 (UTC) reply

How does this tag differ from {POV-check}? Addhoc 13:47, 30 August 2006 (UTC) reply

I ask the same question as the above Fethroesforia 15:20, 6 January 2007 (UTC) reply

The way I see it, this tags applies more specifically when viewpoints are missing or under represented, the NPOV tag would be when viewpoints are mischaracterized. But maybe that's just me. Dlabtot ( talk) 21:33, 6 March 2009 (UTC) reply
Can I use this template on an article that has material from an old 19th century book and is clearly unbalanced? The NPOV template indicates there is a dispute going on. What if the text is just, well, unbalanced? / Fred- J 12:36, 11 February 2010 (UTC) reply

new template: balance-section

new template, check it out:

Template:balance-section

yep, my advice is that this template is changed to say only "article" and that wherever its used it be changed to this new template I created where appropriate. Also, I suggest creating a category for this template similar to Category:NPOV disputes.-- Urthogie 06:07, 18 March 2007 (UTC) reply

pointers to relevant talk

I note this template (unlike many other cleanup templates) do not allow for a pointer directly to the relevant talk page section.

Please add.

Well I came up with a version in Template:Unbalanced/sandbox that seems to work. Not sure if there's anything to do before trying it live. -- Mathnerd314159 ( talk) 00:33, 3 May 2022 (UTC) reply
