wikipedia citation_needed wikipedia citation needed from wikipedia the free encyclopedia jump to navigation jump to search wikipedia information page this is an information page it is not one of wikipedia s policies or guidelines but rather intends to describe some aspect s of wikipedia verifiability policy it may reflect varying levels of consensus and vetting shortcuts wp citeneed wp needcite a complete version of the documentation for this template is provided at template citation needed if you are new to editing and instead just need a general overview of how sources work please visit the referencing for beginners help page the citation needed template aims to promote accountable discourse to ensure that all wikipedia content is verifiable wikipedia provides a means for anyone to question an uncited claim if your work has been tagged please provide a reliable source for the statement and discuss if needed you can add a citation by selecting from the drop down menu at the top of the editing box in markup you can add a citation manually using ref tags there are also more elaborate ways to cite sources in wiki markup you can question an uncited claim by inserting a simple citation needed tag or a more comprehensive citation needed reason your explanation here date october 2022 alternatively fact and cn will produce the same result these all display as example 87 percent of statistics are made up on the spot citation needed for information on adding citations in articles see help referencing for beginners for information on when to remove this template messages see help maintenance template removal contents 1 when to use this tag 2 when not to use this tag 3 if your work has been tagged 4 how to help reduce the backlog 5 see also 6 external links when to use this tag a citation needed tag is a request for another editor to supply a source for the tagged fact a form of communication between members of a collaborative editing community it is never in itself an improvement of an article though readers may be alerted by a citation needed that a particular statement is not supported and even doubted by some many readers don t fully understand the community s processes not all tags get addressed in a timely manner staying in place for months or years forming an ever growing wikipedia backlog this itself can be a problem best practice recommends the following tag thoughtfully avoid hit and run or pointed tagging try to be courteous and consider the hypothetical fellow editor who will we hope notice your tag and try to find the citation you have requested when adding a tag ask yourself is it clear just what information you want cited is the information probably factual if it is not then it needs deletion or correction rather than citation is the knowledge so self evident that it really does not need to be cited at all some things do not some tags are inserted by people well placed to find a suitable citation themselves if this is the case consider adding these articles to your watchlist or a worklist so that you can revisit the article when you have the opportunity to fix any verifiability issues yourself when not to use this tag before adding a tag at least consider the following alternatives one of which may prove much more constructive do not use this tag because you don t understand a statement or feel that non expert readers are likely to be confused use clarify explain confusing examples why or non sequitur as appropriate instead if the content is nonsense or is unlikely to be true be bold and delete it do not tag controversial material about living people that is unsourced or poorly sourced remove it immediately per wp diary do not tag excessively trivial claims remove them if you are sure the statement you want to tag is not factual even if it does not come under either of the preceding headings it may be more appropriate to simply remove the text delete it be sure to add a suitable edit summary such as very doubtful please add a citation if you return the content if the original statement was accurate after all this gives someone the chance to put it back hopefully with a proper citation this time if a statement sounds plausible and is consistent with other statements in the article but you doubt that it is totally accurate then consider making a reasonable effort to find a reference yourself in the process you may end up confirming that the statement needs to be edited or deleted to better reflect the best knowledge about the topic if an article or a section within an article is under referenced then consider adding an unreferenced refimprove or unreferenced section tag to the article or section concerned these tags allow you to indicate more systemic problems to the page a reference at the end of a paragraph typically refers to the whole paragraph and similarly a reference at the end of a sentence may almost always be taken as referring to the whole sentence if a particular part of a sentence or paragraph seems to require a separate citation or looks as if it may have been inserted into the text at a sentence or paragraph level try to check the original reference rather than adding tags to text that may already be well referenced the extra parameters available in the citation needed span template may allow you to indicate which section you want to refer to do not insert a citation needed tag to make a point to pay back another editor or because you don t like a subject a particular article or another editor if your work has been tagged if you can provide a reliable source for the claim then please add it if you are not sure how to do this then give it your best try and replace the citation needed template with enough information to locate the source you may leave the copyediting or wikifying to someone else or learn more about citing sources on wikipedia this beginners referencing guide for wikipedia provides a brief introduction on how to reference wikipedia articles shortcuts wp citeneedremove wp needciteremove if someone tagged your contributions with a citation needed tag or tags and you disagree discuss the matter on the article s talk page the most constructive thing to do in most cases is probably to supply the reference s requested even if you feel the tags are overdone or unnecessary how to help reduce the backlog currently there are 470 579 articles with citation needed statements you can browse the whole list of these articles at category all articles with unsourced statements frequently the authors of statements do not return to wikipedia to support the statement with citations so other wikipedia editors have to do work checking those statements with 470 579 statements that need wp verification sometimes it s hard to choose which article to work on the tool citation hunt makes that easier by suggesting random articles which you can sort by topical category membership i can help give me a random citation to find see also template citation needed template citation needed span template verify source template unreferenced for an article rather than an individual statement which
