Stack Exchange still uses Wikipedia's Citation Needed text

Currently, the wording for the citation needed moderator notice is:

This post does not cite any references or sources. Please help improve this article by adding citations to reliable sources. Unsourced material may be challenged and removed.

"Article", to me, sounds wrong. On a Q&A site rather than an encyclopaedia should this not read:

This post does not cite any references or sources. Please help improve this post by adding citations to reliable sources. Unsourced material may be challenged and removed.

Or even specific for question/answer (though as the notice can be applied to both a little more work would be necessary to implement this).


Image to prove I'm not tripping xD

Link to the notice applied to a post.
