This article or section needs sources or references that appear in reliable, third-party publications. Primary sources and sources affiliated with the subject of the article are generally not sufficient for a Wikipedia article. Please include more appropriate citations from reliable sources, or discuss the issue on the talk page. |
- This template will categorize tagged articles into Category:Articles lacking reliable references.
- This template is a self-reference, and thus is not appropriate for Wikipedia:Subst.
- There is currently no consensus on where on the article to place templates such as this.
Usage
This template also has two optional fields.
The first permits the user to specify whether the entire article or a specific section inappropriately relies solely on primary sources. For instance, if the entire article needs third-party sources, a user would enter {{primarysources|article}}; but should the user wish to be more specific on which section of the article needs third-party sources, then the user could enter {{primarysources|section called "Childhood"}}. Leaving the parameter undefined is acceptable, as it will print out the default text "article or section".
The second field is a date parameter, entered as "date=month year". Adding this new (as of November 2006) parameter sorts the article into subcategories of Category:Articles lacking reliable references and out of the parent category, allowing the oldest problems to be identified and dealt with first. If the date parameter is omitted, a bot will add it later.
Note that order does not matter with respect to the above optional parameters. Both {{primarysources|section|date=October 2008}} and {{primarysources|date=October 2008|section}} will produce the same result.
