Wikipedia:Citation needed
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The "citation needed" link you just followed is there because another editor felt that the preceding statement was dubious or sufficiently controversial [citation needed] as to demand citation. If you can provide a source to back up the statement, please add it. (Often this is done with the help of citation templates such as {{cite book}}, {{cite news}}, or {{cite web}}.) If not, please exercise extra caution when using the flagged information. If the statement is about a living person, delete the statement.
For information on why statements should be sourced with a citation, see:
