Questions about opinion words and weasel words

Not sure if this should be in "Be bold" or in "Manual of Style", but I chose "Be bold".

  1. What is the Sarna policy on using abverbs or other articles of speech that imply opinion, such as "probably"/"likely"? Example: "One such unit was likely the Special Air Lance of the Twelfth Dieron Regulars, an all LAM unit to which Sharon Dorsee and Mandrake Matherson were likely assigned at the time.". I'm assumming that such usage should be kept out of the main body of articles, but are fine in the notes section of an article.
  2. What is the sarna policy towards weasel word usage? Probably not very common on sarna, was just curious.75.23.228.139 12:40, 5 October 2022 (EDT)
