Wikipedia:Citation needed
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
To ensure that all Wikipedia content is verifiable, anyone may question an uncited claim by inserting a [citation needed] flag (or a similar inline template).
Example: Earth is flat like a pancake.[citation needed]
To create the [citation needed] flag, insert any of the following:
{{citation needed}}{{cn}}{{fact}}
When you see this flag, please do the following:
- Exercise caution when relying upon unsourced claims.
- If you have reason to think that the claim is inaccurate, you may remove the claim altogether. Optionally, paste it into the article's talk page and explain your reasoning.
- If you can locate a reliable source for the claim: Please be bold and replace the template with
<ref>some footnote</ref>, replacing some footnote with enough information to locate the source. Leave the copyediting to someone else, or learn more about the subject at Wikipedia:Citing sources. - Controversial, poorly sourced claims in biographies of living persons should be deleted immediately.
