Wikipedia:PROVEIT

Some editors appear to be construing that "PROVEIT" means that Wikipedia endorses the truth, rather than just the verifiablily, of a claim. So this makes this PROVEIT redirect a misnomer.
- Speedy deletion declined. What you are "proving" when someone ask you to "PROVEIT" is that an unsourced statement is verifiable... not that it is "true". The fact that some people don't bother to read the policy that a short cut links to (and thus misconstrue it) does not make it a misnomer. Blueboar (talk) 13:40, 3 March 2010 (UTC)
