Template documentation

Use this template to request that an article be checked for POV ("Point of View"). The editor who adds the tag must address the issues on the talk page, pointing to specific issues that are actionable within the content policies.

For POV issues which are disputed, use the {{POV}} template instead. For more information, see Wikipedia:NPOV dispute ("NPOV" is an abbreviation for "Neutral Point of View").

Usage

Explain your reasons on the article's talk page, then place {{POV-check}} at the top of the suspect article. To specify the section of the talk page, use {{POV-check|talk page section name}}. Articles using this template as shown above are placed into Category:NPOV disputes.

This template can take an optional date parameter in the format {{POV-check|date = <month> <year>}} or {{POV-check|talk page section name|date = <month> <year>}}. If the date is not included it will probably be added later by a WP:BOT. Articles using this template with a date are added to Category:NPOV disputes from <month> <year>.
