Talk:United States Flag of Honor

POV tag
This concerns POV tag cleanup. Whenever an POV tag is placed, it is necessary to also post a message in the discussion section stating clearly why it is thought the article does not comply with POV guidelines, and suggestions for how to improve it. This permits discussion and consensus among editors. This is a drive-by tag, which is discouraged in WP, and it shall be removed. Future tags should have discussion posted as to why the tag was placed, and how the topic might be improved. Better yet, edit the topic yourself with the improvements. This statement is not a judgement of content, it is only a cleanup of frivolously and/or arbitrarily placed tags. No discussion, no tag.Jjdon (talk) 20:04, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

Article issues
I have added a few tags to this article. Per the above comment, my reasoning for adding tags is below.


 * Conflict of Interest: The creator of this article may be the subject of the article. Wikipedia Guidelines state: "If you do write an article on an area in which you are personally involved, be sure to write in a neutral tone and cite reliable, third-party published sources, and beware of unintentional bias."  This article is not written in a neutral tone (see below) and has no sources/references.
 * Neutral Point of View: Statements in the article such as "the attack on our nation", "American heroes", "the men and women who serve our country" and perhaps others, show bias ("heroes") and a point of view which is limited to the United States ("our nation").
 * Original Research: Most statements in the article appear to be unverifiable facts (such as what an individual said or did) and none of them are referenced, suggesting that the creator of the article is presenting only his own knowledge on the subject. Wikipedia Policy states: "If no reliable, third-party sources can be found for an article topic, Wikipedia should not have an article on it."  There are no sources available on this article.

The content of the article has not been edited since it was created, suggesting there is no interest in improving the article to meet Wikipedia guidelines. Hopefully the tags and my comments will encourage someone to edit the article and address these issues. Leena (talk) 08:40, 27 June 2008 (UTC)


 * I've edited and cleaned up the article quite a bit. The concerns above still stand, however. Leena (talk) 07:01, 29 October 2008 (UTC)
