If you think that something in an article is wrong or biased, you need to explain what you think is wrong/biased, and why. Just posting (disputed) into the article is useless and will be reverted. What you need to do is to begin a section on the talk page to describe the problem. This will alert other editors, so that people can discuss whether the content is inaccurate and how to handle it.

Let me explain using an example. There is an article on HMS Hood that says that the Hood had 4 × twin 15 in guns. Suppose you have a book that says the Hood had 4 × 13.5 in guns. Just labelling the article as disputed would be useless because there is lots of information in the article, and nobody would guess what your problem was. But if you explained yourself on the article talk page, and told people which books say that Hood had 4 × 13.5 in guns, people would try to understand why the books said that, and decide whether to correct the article. It could be that the books are describing a different HMS Hood.

There used to be an article on Colin Mason where people had used sources talking about Colin Mason's work, and assumed that they were all the same person. Somebody spotted that the article was rubbish because it had conflated 3-4 individuals all called "Colin Mason" and raised the issue on the article talk page. I think that article ended up being deleted. The present article on Colin Mason was created later. -- Toddy1 (talk) 20:07, 19 January 2023 (UTC)
