Enter this tag in the body of an article as a request for other editors to find citations:
+
|link=Wikipedia:Citation needed
# to label a passage which is incomplete without a cited source of information
+
|text=citation needed
# to label a quotation which lacks a citation, as per [[Wikipedia:Citing sources]].
+
|class=Template-Fact
 +
|title={{{reason|This claim needs references to reliable sources.}}}

'''Do not use this tag in order to label text which appears doubtful or false''', especially in the case of [[Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons|biographies of living people]] (see [[Wikipedia:Three-revert_rule#Reverting_potentially_libellous_material|this section of WP:3RR]] as well).

For dealing with dubious information, please use {{[[Template:verify source|verify source]]}}. See also [[Wikipedia:Citing sources#Text that is, or is likely to be, disputed]].
 
 
Regarding the unsourced or poorly sourced information:
 
# if it is likely true, but '''needs specificity,''' you may use {{[[Template:specify|specify]]}}
 
# if it is '''not doubtful''', you may use {{[[Template:fact|fact]]}} or {{[[Template:citequote|citequote]]}} tag to ask for better citation in order to make the article complete.
 
# if it is '''doubtful''' but '''not too harmful''' to the whole article, you may use {{[[Template:verify source|verify source]]}} tag to ask for source verification. <br>
 
# If it is '''doubtful''' and '''(quite) highly harmful''', you may move it to the talk page and ask for a source. <br>
 
# 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 [[Special:Whatlinkshere/Template:Fact|What links here]]. For articles which lack sources, please visit [[:Category:Articles lacking sources]].
