Weasel Words tag[edit]

I noticed (at WP:Cornwall) that this article was tagged {{who|date=October 2009}} by User:Zangar.

I assume, of course, that Zangar acted in good faith and may have misunderstood the use of the 'weasel words' tag.

To quote from the WP entry: Weasel words are phrases that are evasive, ambiguous, or misleading. On Wikipedia, the term refers to evasive, ambiguous or misleading attribution. In this case, I'd suggest there was nothing ambiguous or evasive about the statement of fact which was cited to an authoritative source.

I've left a message on Zangar's talk page suggesting if s/he wants to discuss the matter it might be better to do so on the WikiProject Cornwall talk page so that fellow project members can participate and reach a consensus. Andy F (talk) 20:07, 23 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The tag was introduced here [1] - from the edit summary I think Zangar was simply seeking clarification of which John Arundell was being referred to, rather than disputing any attribution. DuncanHill (talk) 20:12, 23 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Oh OK, Duncan. Unfortunately I'm getting a page load error on the Cornovia website. The trouble is, of course, that there was a whole line of John Arundells, a wealthy landowning Cornish family. But going on the dates, it is very likely to be this one John_Arundell_(of_Trerice,_died_1580). What do you reckon? How can we check? Andy F (talk) 20:41, 23 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Might be worth emailing User:Cornovia - he hasn't been active on Wikipedia for a while though, but he's more likely than wnyone I can think of to be able to clear it up. DuncanHill (talk) 20:52, 23 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry for the confusion, it was my misunderstanding of the {{who}} tag. As Duncan notes, I was just trying to get the author or someone who is knowledgeable on the subject to clarify which John Arundell the text referred to. Thanks for pointing it out though, I'll have to find a more appropriate tag for future! Zangar (talk) 02:32, 24 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
You can use {{dn}} to mark links to disambiguation pages. DuncanHill (talk) 02:39, 24 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
That's better - thanks! Zangar (talk) 02:48, 24 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
