Citation needed tag

Before adding a {{CN}} tag, consider:

• Dont understand - don't understand a statement, or feel that "non-expert" readers are likely to be confused. Use {{Clarify}}, {{Explain}}, {{Confusing}}, {{Examples}}, {{Why}} or {{Non sequitur}}, as appropriate, instead.
• False - be bold and delete it!
• False/Poorly sources contentious and about living folks - Remove it immediately!
• Trivial - Per WP:DIARY, do not tag excessively trivial claims. Remove them.
• False and likely to be put back - Delete and add a suitable edit summary such as "Very doubtful – please add a citation if you return the content". If the original statement was accurate after all, this gives someone the chance to put it back, hopefully with a proper citation this time.
• Plausible, and consistent with other statements in the article, but you doubt that it is totally accurate, then consider making a reasonable effort to find a reference yourself. In the process, you may end up confirming that the statement needs to be edited or deleted to better reflect the best knowledge about the topic.

• If an article, or a section within an article, is under-referenced, then consider adding an {{Unreferenced}}, {{Refimprove}}, or {{Unreferenced section}} tag to the article or section concerned – these tags allow you to indicate more systemic problems to the page.

Hi Mmcdougall! The thread you created at the Wikipedia:Teahouse, How to correctly cite a 18th century Czech cookbook and other cleanup, has been archived because there was no discussion for a few days (usually at least two days, and sometimes four or more). You can still find the archived discussion here. If you have any additional questions that weren't answered then, please feel free to . The archival was done by Lowercase sigmabot III, and this notification was delivered by Muninnbot, both automated accounts.
