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>.
Example using current date
Template:
{{POV-check|date=November 2024}}
Output:
 | This article has been nominated to be checked for its neutrality. (November 2024) |
