Template:Specify/doc

Usage
Use this tag for information that needs citations to make it complete, or quotations that are used without citations, as per Citing sources.

Do not use this tag in order to label text which appears doubtful or false, especially in the case of biographies of living people. Otherwise please use Verify source. For passages that are confusing, unclear, ambiguous, or missing a clarifier of some kind (i.e. the problem is with the wording, not the sourcing), use Clarify.

Regarding the unsourced or poorly sourced information:
 * 1) if it is likely true, but needs specificity, you may use Specify
 * 2) if it is not doubtful, you may use Citation needed or Cite quote tag to ask for better citation in order to make the article complete.
 * 3) if it is doubtful but not harmful to the whole article, you may use Verify source tag to ask for source verification.
 * 4) If it is doubtful and harmful, you may move it to the talk page and ask for a source.
 * 5) If it is very doubtful and very harmful, you may remove it directly without the need of moving it to the talk page first.
