All,

I have always found editor-oriented tags on Wikipedia articles annoying,
such as the "cleanup" tag and the "disputed neutrality" tag.  They don't
help the reader much, I think; they clutter the page and most of what they
can be said is said with a catch-all disclaimer at the top of all unapproved
CZ articles:

The article below may contain errors of fact, bias, grammar, etc. The
Citizendium Foundation and the participants in the Citizendium project make
no representations about the reliability of this article or, generally, its
suitability for any purpose. We make this disclaimer of all Citizendium
article versions that have not been specifically approved.

These templates are used inconsistently, and, more to the point, it seems
impossible to use them consistently.  If they should be anywhere, they
should be on the talk pages.  I think that, with editors and a content
dispute resolution process (under construction), we ought to be able to get
rid of all such tags, or maybe move them to the talk pages, although I'd
prefer to just get rid of them.

I mean many, but probably not all, of these:

But I could be convinced otherwise.  What do you think?
