- Hi, thanks for your message. If you want only verifiable information, then the info on M1 and M2 GPU compute partitions should to be removed altogether. What is written there right now has no basis in reality whatsoever. The real mr mobster (talk) 10:10, 4 July 2023 (UTC)
- WP:BURDEN - if you want to add stuff then fix it. However, if you also believe that information is incorrect then provide a good argument why it should be removed. You could try being bold WP:BOLD by doing this straight away, but then you'll likely be reverted by another editor - as I did when you added unreferenced information. So the best option would be to post on the article's talk page, e.g. Talk:Apple M2 and start a discussion on your thoughts/proposal. See WP:BRD for an explanation of the bold/be-reverted/discuss cycle. 10mmsocket (talk) 10:21, 4 July 2023 (UTC)
- One further thing, personal knowledge is classed as original research WP:OR and is not allowed. Also, the truth counts for absolutely nothing if it can't be verified WP:NOTTRUTH / WP:V. 10mmsocket (talk) 10:22, 4 July 2023 (UTC)
- Thanks! What is the usual procedure if one wants to remove currently published content that was arbitrary and unverified to begin with? I mean, I cannot prove that it is incorrect, because no authoritative source exists (the company does not release the technical information). I understand that my expert knowledge is not worth anything in this context (and I agree with that), but we have the unfortunate situation where unverified information (which I know to be incorrect) has already been published and stays up because of "seniority".

- Like I say - WP:BRD. If you think it's justified then do it and give a good edit summary. If someone reverts you don't get into an edit war, instead create a discussion on the talk page. We need more bold/assertive editors - just not aggressive. Good luck and thank for engaging. 10mmsocket (talk) 10:33, 4 July 2023 (UTC)
