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.
