===Re: Using the cleanup tag -- [[User:JaimeS|JaimeS]] ([[User talk:JaimeS|talk]]) 15:46, June 26, 2019 (EDT)=== : I strongly agree with this --> "A strongly caveat emptor seems like the better way to go, and I do note that the disclaimer we have at the bottom of the page is much, much weaker than Wikipedia's. So that seems like one thing worth improving." Let's use Wikipedia's disclaimer at the very least. :Can we take it word-for-word? It's pretty good. Otherwise we can link to it. -- [[User:JaimeS|JaimeS]] ([[User talk:JaimeS|talk]]) 15:46, June 26, 2019 (EDT) ::Yes, we can! I think for copyright purposes, we just need to note the permanent URL of the version we're copying in the edit summary as acknowledgement (in this case it's: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:General_disclaimer&oldid=860114216). Then we'd need an admin to make that change because the [[MEpedia:General disclaimer]] is a protected page, so if you're here and have a moment [[User:JaimeS|JaimeS]], that'd be terrific. Here's a direct link to the source text so all the formatting will be taken care of: [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:General_disclaimer&action=edit] ::Later maybe we'll have further, MEpedia-specific tweaks to make, and those can be proposed and discussed over on the talk page for the disclaimer, but I definitely agree this would be a vast (and fast!) improvement! Thanks! [[User:Canele|Canele]] ([[User talk:Canele|talk]]) 15:59, June 26, 2019 (EDT) :::Great! I added this to the top of the list of Admin tasks. Thanks guys! :::[[User:Pyrrhus|Pyrrhus]] ([[User talk:Pyrrhus|talk]]) 22:10, June 26, 2019 (EDT) ::::I'm strongly against comparing accuracy here with Wikipedia, which has so many issues with highlighting minority points of view and the strong bias of many editors. We don't have any pages here that end up in edit wars, or marked as biased for example, and we don't prioritize opinionated articles over primary and secondary sources. I think a disclaimer that "accuracy cannot be guaranteed" is worthwhile, and maybe readers are responsible for checking the date that pages were last updated? The current general disclaimer messily links to Wikipedia twice - to explain what a wiki is and for "(permanent link)" - it's bad practice to use the word "link" in links.
