'''Do not use this tag |
'''Do not use this tag for [[WP:BLP|biographical material about living persons]] that appears doubtful or false'''. See [[Wikipedia:Three-revert_rule#Reverting_potentially_libellous_material|this section of WP:3RR]]. The policy on tagging is in [[WP:ATT#How_to_cite_and_request_a_source|this section]] of [[Wikipedia:Attribution]]. |
||
For dealing with dubious information, please use {{[[Template:verify source|verify source]]}}. See also [[Wikipedia:Citing sources#Material that is, or is likely to be, challenged]]. |
|||
Regarding the unsourced or poorly sourced information: |
|||
# 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''' but '''not too harmful''' to the whole article, you may use {{[[Template:verify source|verify source]]}} tag to ask for source verification. <br /> |
|||
# If it is '''doubtful''' and '''(quite) highly harmful''', you may move it to the talk page and ask for a source. <br /> |
|||
# If it is '''very doubtful''' and '''very harmful''', you may remove it directly without the need of moving it to the talk page first. |
