DOY change to pending changes reviewer instructions

[edit]

Should the following change be added to the reviewing pending change process?

Reviewers should note that all new entries added to days of the year articles require a direct citation per WP:DOYCITE.

Background (DOY change to pending changes reviewer instructions)

[edit]

In October 2017, a discussion at WP:WikiProject Days of the year reached consensus that day-of-the-year articles are not exempt from WP:V and that Any material lacking a reliable source directly supporting it may be removed and should not be restored without an inline citation to a reliable source. WP:DOYCITE and WP:DOYSTYLE were updated to include that language.

In July 2019, the language Please note that when reviewing days of the year pages, all new additions require a direct citation per WP:DOYCITE. was added to WP:RPC.

There has been an objection to the addition of this language on the grounds that it contradicts WP:RPC, specifically It is not necessary for you to ensure compliance with the content policies on neutral point of view, verifiability and original research before accepting.

If the wording you are proposing is "Please note that when reviewing days of the year pages, all new additions require a direct citation per WP:DOYCITE", as above, I can't agree with the proposal because it's ungrammatical. I think what you mean is, "Reviewers should note that all new entries added to Days of the Year articles require a direct citation per WP:DOYCITE." Deb (talk) 17:55, 12 June 2020 (UTC)

Deb, I just pasted the content that was added in 2019; that's how WP:RPC read all along, until the dispute. I'm fine with your wording though...PackMecEng, you? Schazjmd (talk) 17:58, 12 June 2020 (UTC)
Hee, hee. I never read it before, because I knew it. I suppose it must have been Toddst1. Deb (talk) 18:00, 12 June 2020 (UTC)
