The {{citation needed}} template aims to promote accountable discourse.

Example: Most people believe in ghosts.^{[citation needed]}

To ensure that all Wikipedia content is verifiable, anyone may question an uncited claim by inserting {{citation needed}} or a similar inline template. Exercise caution when relying upon unsourced claims.

• If you have reason to think that the claim is inaccurate, you may remove it 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 <ref>some footnote</ref>, replacing some footnote with enough information to locate the source. Leave the copyediting to someone else, or learn more at Wikipedia:Citing sources.
• Controversial, poorly sourced claims in biographies of living persons should be deleted immediately.
