Unclear tagging

[edit]

This article has a tag which reads in part,

This article's references may not meet Wikipedia's guidelines for reliable sources.

Unfortunately, the person leaving the tag did not see fit to further explain themselves here on the talk page. I see sources that look perfectly reliable to me, and at quick glance appear to support the statements being made.

The tag also goes on to state,

Please help by checking whether the references meet the criteria for reliable sources.

Can I be so bold as to suggest that the tagger in this case is not entirely to blame, but rather, shares the blame with whomever created this inane tag? A tag with this wording could be left literally on every single article in Wikipedia, as it doesn't say that the sources are unreliable, it merely suggests that someone else besides the drive-by tagger do the legwork. "Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't know that that was a reliable source; I just thought I'd tag it so that someone else could check up on it!" Folks, instead of leaving a tag telling others to check on the sources' reliability, why don't you friggin' do it yourself? HuskyHuskie (talk) 04:35, 12 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
