[verify]
The {{Verify quote}} template will automatically place tagged articles into Category:Wikipedia articles needing factual verification.
{{Verify quote|date=August 2024}}
Use this inline template tag to label an ostensibly sourced quotation, to request verification with the original source. This is most often needed when:
If the quotation does seem reliable, but simply lacks proper citations, then use {{Cite quote}} instead. In general, add the {{Verify quote}} template only after a good faith attempt to verify the quotation has already been made. If the article has broader sourcing problems, a banner template like {{Refimprove}} may be more appropriate.
Regarding unsourced or poorly sourced information:
To find all the articles that use this template, please visit What links here. For more articles which lack sources, please visit Category:Articles lacking sources.
