Hi Chris, I noticed this edit of yours. {{Citation needed}} should not be removed without addressing the challenge. Mind explaining your rationale? Regards, Paradoctor (talk) 08:03, 8 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Lyrics to a song seemed like a fact that does not need citation, such as "the sky is blue" or "Egypt is in Africa." Are the lyrics something that should be cited, or is it okay to remove the citation needed tag as long as I explain it better? Chris3145 (talk) 00:47, 9 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

It's always a good idea to explain your reasoning at least in the edit summary. You're right, lyrics in themselves do not need additional citing. If you check the talkpage, you'll see that the tag is about the question of whether this instance of self-reference is in any way remarkable enough to mention. I just realized that it is possible to add a dummy ​​reason=}} --> parameter to {{citation needed}}. If it's ok with you, I'll readd the tag? Paradoctor (talk) 07:38, 9 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Is there a relevancy tag that would be more appropriate? I understand the concern over the inclusion of that example, but a citation needed tag doesn't seem to be the best way to flag that. I'm completely okay with re-adding whatever tag is most relevant to the situation -- even in my own mind I can't completely decide whether that example is worth keeping or removing.

I found {{importance-section}}, which I added. I'd have used an inline version, but none seems available. Regards, Paradoctor (talk) 09:43, 11 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

See section on talk page Inaccurate statements regarding theorems of classical predicate logic

As for your assertion that it is “in poor taste to completely change it without any consent or input from others”, I find that somewhat rich, given that you took it upon yourself to delete the notification that I made that the article did not include any peer-reviewed references to support it, while not providing any references to justify that removal.
