WikiQueer:Accuracy dispute

Some articles on WikiQueer may contain significant factual inaccuracies, i.e. information that is verifiably wrong. Articles for which much of the factual accuracy is actively disputed should have a Disputed warning place at the top, and they are listed at Category:Accuracy disputes. Also see a recent list of disputed articles, and the current list of articles that link here.

Handling content that may be inaccurate
If you see an article that may be inaccurate, please do the following:
 * Correct it yourself if you can. Add citations to reliable sources to verify the information.
 * If the neutrality of the content is in question, please see at WikiQueer:NPOV dispute.
 * If only a few statements seem inaccurate, see WikiQueer:Disputed statement.
 * If there are several dubious statements, or if a dispute arises:
 * Begin a "Disputed" section on the talk page to describe the problem, to alert other editors and gain more opinions on whether the content is inaccurate and how to handle it.
 * Paste Disputed at the beginning of the article to add a general warning.
 * If only the accuracy of a section is disputed, add Disputed-section at the beginning of the section.

Handling factual inaccuracy warnings
If you see an article with a factual accuracy warning, please do the following:
 * Don't remove the warning simply because the material appears reasonable: please ensure that content is verifiable using reliable sources, and that it is unbiased before removing the notice.
 * Visit the talk page to see what the issues are.
 * Correct it yourself if you can. Add citations to reliable sources to verify the information.
 * If you are sure that a statement is factually inaccurate then remove it, or move it to the talk page for further discussion. If you are familiar with subject matter contained in the article, but are not sure about the accuracy of a statement, then add "Citation needed" at the end of the statement. If you are not familiar with subject matter contained in the article, but wish to ask about the accuracy of a statement, then raise the issue on the article's talk page. Please see WQ:BURDEN and WQ:HANDLE for a more detailed explanation of how to handle potentially false or misleading information.

Resolving disputes

 * There are several noticeboards at which accuracy disputes may be listed to gain the views of other editors, particularly the content, reliable sources, original research, neutral point-of-view, and biographies of living persons noticeboards (see Noticeboard links for a fuller list).
 * Once you have found the correct information, edit the page to correct it, remove the warnings, and put something like the following in your edit summary:
