To ensure that all Keywiki content is verifiable, users may question an uncited claim by inserting {{Cite}} following the statement in question. 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. - Controversial, poorly sourced claims in biographies of living persons should be deleted immediately.
