TalkPage notice for UnReliables

Find A Grave, ODMP, Rootsweb, IMdB, etc. are forum-based sites. These are edited by anyone (similar to Wikipedia) and contain huge amounts of non-vetted, unscholarly additions which have no editor oversight. Therefore, such sites are considered wholly non-reliable by Wikipedia policy of referencing and citing. Please stop your additions to articles based entirely on information gleaned from such sites. Thank you. ~~~~

If this is a shared IP address, and you did not make the edits, consider creating an account for yourself, so you can avoid further irrelevant notices.

Table creation, sortable

To un-Bold column titles, replace the leading header exclamation points ("!") with a pipe ("|"); Number of modifiers in "records" section must equal number modifiers in "header" section; "Table Legend" may go above or below the table; remove comment markups ("<!-- {comment} -->").

• This template:

:<center>'''<small>Table Legend:''' {''legend/key if needed''}
</small></center>
<!-- begin Header section -->
{| class="wikitable sortable"
! identifier
! modifier 1
! modifier 2
! modifier 3
! modifier 4 <!-- add additional modifiers as needed. -->
|-- <!-- end Header section / begin Records section -->
|-
| {identifierA}
| {modifier 1}
| {modifier 2}
| {modifier 3}
| {modifier 4} <!-- add additional modifiers as needed. -->
|- <!-- this is record (identifier) break-point; one goes between each entry in the table, followed by the next identifier with its appropriate number of modifiers. -->
|-- <!-- end Records section -->
|}<!-- end table. -->

• Outputs the following table style:

Table Legend: {legend/key if needed}

identifier	modifier 1	modifier 2	modifier 3	modifier 4
{identifierA}	{modifier 1}	{modifier 2}	{modifier 3}	{modifier 4}
