<!-- PLEASE ADD CATEGORIES AND INTERWIKIS AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS PAGE -->
The {{Tl|verify source}} template will automatically place tagged articles into [[:Category:Wikipedia articles needing factual verification]].
== Usage ==
'''{{tlx|Verify source|date{{=}}{{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}}}}'''
Request that someone verify the cited source supports the material in the passage. Add the {{tlx|Verify source}} template only after you have made a good faith attempt to verify the information (so making the template unnecessary—see also {{tlx|Failed verification}} ).
This template is for cases where for example it is thought that the citation may only cover some of the facts in the preceding sentences in the Wikipedia article, but not all of them; or that given page number in the citation does not seem to contain the information that supports the preceding sentences in the article.
If the information in the preceding sentences appears to be verifiable, but lacks proper citations, then use {{Tl|Citation needed}} (or {{Tl|Cite quote}}, for quotations) instead. If the article has broader sourcing problems, a banner template like {{Tl|Refimprove}} may be more appropriate.
To find all the articles that use this template, visit [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Whatlinkshere&target=Template%3AVerify_source What links here]. For articles which {{em|lack}} sources, please visit [[:Category:Articles lacking sources]].
This [[Wikipedia:Template messages|template]] is a [[Wikipedia:Self-references to avoid|self-reference]], as it is part of the Wikipedia project rather than the encyclopedic content and it should not be [[Wikipedia:Substitution|substituted]].
=== Parameters ===
* {{Para|date}} You may append a date to the template in the following format:
:<code>{{Tlx|Verify source|date{{=}}{{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}}}}</code>
* {{Para|type}} You may add a type, such as "reprint" or "archive" in the following format:
:<code>{{Tlx|Verify source|type{{=}}reprint}}</code> becomes <sup>[''reprint verification needed'']</sup>.
