Tags that warn an article is disputed or subject to controversy need to be on the article page to inform the casual passerby who doesn't think of checking the talk page. And having certain tags on the article itself will also make the fact they need to be improved more visible and may speed that process up.
Shouldn't we be trying to fix the articles to get rid of these tags entirely. If we do, there'd be no discussion on where to put them.

This is a summary of the criticism of the WP:ET idea's at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Editor_tags
# Template messages should be bigger! - ## Too small! ## Readers should read (and understand) them, not just editors ### Not appropriate for NPOV / POV tags (OK for others) ### Appears to "cover up" any disputes ### Suggests the talk page is in dispute as opposed to the article itself. ### "They should be like a big honking stopsign to the reader" ### "they warn readers and tell them to not read the article." #### "If they do, then they'll get false information." # "Messes up categorizations" # I dont like it!
