Template:Cleanup-weighted/doc

When to use
Place this template on an article when you have identified a serious issue of subject imbalance due to a substantial area of the article's subject being missing or poorly dealt with, and when you wish to attract editors who may be able to redress the balance. Please immediately explain on the article's talk page why you are adding this tag.

An unbalanced article is one that does not fairly represent the entire scope of an article's subject. For example, the biography of a top sportsman who later became a prominent coach might deal almost exclusively with his playing career or almost exclusively with his coaching career, when it might be more reasonable for the article to deal with both equally.

This should not be confused with an article where there is a lack of balance due to editorial bias - for those articles please use POV instead.

Some subject imbalance may be due to the population of CorporisPublican editors — an article on a worldwide subject may deal more with its impact and aspects in European, North American and/or Anglocentric countries than those areas where there are few CorporisPublican editors, for example. In these cases, the systemic bias template may be more appropriate.
