To ensure that all Wikipedia content is verifiable, anyone may question an uncited claim by inserting a [citation needed] flag (or a similar inline template).
Example: Earth is flat like a pancake.[citation needed]
To create the [citation needed] flag, insert any of the following:
* {{citation needed}}
* {{cn}}
* {{fact}})Template:Fact)
When you see this flag, please do the following:
* Exercise caution when relying upon unsourced claims. * If you have reason to think that the claim is inaccurate, you may remove the claim altogether. Optionally, paste it into the article's talk page and explain your reasoning. * If you can locate a reliable source for the claim: Please be bold and replace the template with [1], replacing some footnote with enough information to locate the source. Leave the copyediting to someone else, or learn more about the subject at Wikipedia:Citing sources. * Controversial, poorly sourced claims in biographies of living persons should be deleted immediately.
