Template:Citation needed/doc
From LIMSWiki
Jump to navigationJump to searchThe {{Citation needed}} tag, when inserted in an article, looks like this: [citation needed], except that it links directly here. It means one of three things:
- What was just asserted in the text is being questioned, and needs a legitimate citation, or reference, in order to stand.
- The author at the time was not exactly sure of the fact they were writing, and is begging your help to make sure it is correct.
- The author at the time was making a funny statement about the sort of things that might need a citation.
In the first two cases, your immediately dropping whatever you are doing, researching the matter to the best of your ability, and fixing the article, would be appreciated.
In the third case, adding "|joke" to the template will stop it appearing on the list of pages that really do need citations.
