| − | # 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''' and '''(quite) highly harmful''', you may move it to the talk page and ask for a source. <br>
| + | |
