The <nowiki>{{Citation needed}}</nowiki> template is intended for use when there is a general question of the verifiability of a statement, or when an editor believes that a reference verifying the statement should be provided. Other templates are available for other or more specific issues, see the [[Template:Cn#Inline_templates|list of inline templates]]. For example, claims that you think are incorrect should be tagged with <nowiki>{{Dubious}}</nowiki>, and those which represent a non-neutral view should be tagged with <nowiki>{{POV-statement}}</nowiki>. Being specific about the nature of the problem will help other editors correct it.
