Usage

This template should be used when there are sentences of uncited text that should be cited. The idea was borrowed from the French Wikipedia, and, unlike the template {{Citation needed}}, this template may highlight more than one sentence of text to describe as needing a citation. Once a citation is added, please remove the template from the highlighted text.

There are three parameters to the template:

• The first parameter is the sentence that needs attribution
• The second parameter is optional; it changes the link of [citation needed] specify what (if not just attribution problems) needs to be taken care of
• The third parameter is also optional; it changes the text from [citation needed] to whatever you wish it to be. It is strongly suggested that, if the third parameter is used that the second parameter be used, too.

Notes

• Do not substitute this template.

Categorization

Adding this template to an article places the article into Category:All articles with unsourced statements, Category:Articles with unsourced statements, and/or dated subcategories thereof.

Please remove the template when you add a citation for the statements wrapped by this template.
