Updated information sometimes may create debate, at all times NPOV must be reminded and kept. When finding situations in which an article is supported by a WikiProject or editors who seem to be acting with lack of neutrality or actively promoting interests, avoid unnecessary debate, request the opinion of other participants of WikiProject Update Watch. You may also follow available Mediation policies. See also Accuracy dispute.

'''Differences with and
'''

While Wikipedia already has a category for articles in need of updating, it basically refers and deals with articles chronologically outdated, see Updating Information. The category of articles with obsolete information refers to articles in dispute following an editor's report of factual inaccuracy based on outdated references.

Editors acting on behalf of WikiProject Update Watch, may of course tag articles for any of the above reasons, but what we are trying to identify, are articles not covered by other categories, articles which are missing newly available information for adding content and accuracy i.e. and article about vaccination methods which fails to include "pressure powder injections". Also we identify articles which have an outdated content because of historical or other facts which have turned that subject obsolete, i.e. "Rhodesian economy" or articles which contain information or sources outdated at the light of new discoveries or newly accepted knowledge which can be adequately sourced i.e. an article describing hydrogen-cell driven engines referencing the dangers of manipulation (which are outdated by new procedures).

The occasional overlapping of categories, if any, do not constitute redundancy but complementation and if so occurs it will only help Wikipedia 's reliability.
