Add a link to WikiProject Reliability in the "See also" section. Category:Articles with unsourced statements, the category for articles with Citation needed, has a link to the WikiProject, so it should be linked on this page too. Ijoe2003 (talk) 07:52, 6 August 2022 (UTC)

 * Per the protection log, the page was protected because of a belief that new editors shouldn't be editing it. Given the nature of the page in question, I'm inclined to agree with that assessment, especially given that editors can submit WP:Edit requests if they can't directly edit the page.

Citation needed tag left unresolved
Hey, I keep noticing that there are articles where the tag has remained unresolved for years. Sometimes they are left unresolved for decades.

Is there any kind of policy or essay regarding this kind of phenomenon?CycoMa1 (talk) 18:52, 27 May 2024 (UTC)


 * WP:PROVEIT is one starting point, but the short version is that if material has been tagged for a long time and you don't believe sources exist that can be used to verify the material that has been challenged, removing the material is an option. Depending on the length and nature of the material in question, you might consider leaving a note at the article's Talk page discussing the removal. DonIago (talk) 18:14, 28 May 2024 (UTC)

Machine Learning For Children Extended-confirmed-protected edit request on 21 June 2024
Machine Learning For Children

Nowadays, machine learning (ML) is reshaping industries and transforming our daily lives. From healthcare to entertainment, ML is being used to enhance efficiency, improve decision-making, and create personalized experiences. But guess what? It’s not just for tech experts and data scientists—kids can get in on the action too!

Simply put, machine learning is a branch of artificial intelligence where computers learn from data and make decisions without someone having to program every step. For example, recommendation systems on streaming platforms or voice recognition in smart devices rely heavily on ML algorithms.

Introducing machine learning to children can be a fun and engaging way to prepare them for the future. Learning about machine learning (ML) can help them understand how technology impacts their lives and the world around them. Not to mention, it can also spark their creativity and innovation, allowing them to experiment with building their own smart applications or solving problems using machine learning (ML) techniques.

Why It’s Important For Kids To Learn Machine Learning

As technology keeps advancing and becoming more common in our lives, it’s super important for kids to develop skills that will prepare them for future jobs. Machine learning (ML) is one of the fastest-growing fields, with a big demand for skilled pros.

By introducing machine learning to kids early on, we can help them build critical thinking and problem-solving skills, which are key to success in this field. Additionally, exposing children to the basics of ML can stimulate their curiosity and foster a lifelong interest in science and technology. Techwithjeffrey (talk) 23:54, 21 June 2024 (UTC)

Hello, I was looking at the “History” section of the Norwood MA wiki page, and I saw that in there, it said that citation was needed for a lot of the page but the first 2 citations, i found reliable, and trustable confirmation for, I’ll give the link to the website. < https://norwoodhistoricalsociety.org/a-brief-history-of-norwood-massachusetts/amp/> I just wanted to help with the page for Norwood, being a resident of the town myself. 216.211.252.14 (talk) 20:44, 24 June 2024 (UTC)

Not done: This is the page for requesting changes to the "citation needed" template ITSELF, not for fixing pages where that template is used. To put it another way - the page has a warning sign on it, and rather than working on the page, you've accidentally attempted to copy edit the sign itself. PianoDan (talk) 20:56, 24 June 2024 (UTC)
