Template:Fact/doc

Enter this tag in the body of an article as a request for other editors to find citations:
 * 1) to label a passage which is incomplete without a cited source of information
 * 2) to label a quotation which lacks a citation, as per Citing sources.

Do not use this tag in order to label text which appears doubtful or false, especially in the case of biographies of living people (see this section of WP:3RR as well).

For dealing with dubious information, please use. See also Citing sources.

Regarding the unsourced or poorly sourced information:
 * 1) if it is likely true, but needs specificity, you may use
 * 2) if it is not doubtful, you may use  or  tag to ask for better citation in order to make the article complete.
 * 3) if it is doubtful but not too harmful to the whole article, you may use  tag to ask for source verification.


 * 1) If it is doubtful and (quite) highly harmful, you may move it to the talk page and ask for a source.


 * 1) If it is very doubtful and very harmful, you may remove it directly without the need of moving it to the talk page first.

To find all pages that use this template, see Category:All articles with unsourced statements: a count is maintained by User:Dragons_flight/Category_tracker. The articles will also be categorised by month, by a bot. The ese categories are subcategories of Category:Articles with unsourced statements. For articles which lack sources, please visit Category:Articles lacking sources.
