For dealing with dubious information, please use {{tl|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 {{tl|specify}}
 
# if it is '''not doubtful''', you may use {{tl|fact}} or {{tl|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 {{tl|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.
