This tag is for placement after descriptions of a group of persons, such as "serious scholars / scientists / researchers," "historians / philosophers / scientists," "some / many people," and the like.
Use it when there are no specific examples of identifiable individuals from that group that could be used to verify the statements or beliefs attributed to the group. Preferably the offending statement should be made more specific by identifying particular individuals and then either cited or tagged for needing citation. Similarly, the statement should be deleted if the claim about the group is sufficiently vague as to be unsupportable.
This tag will categorize tagged articles into Category:Wikipedia articles needing factual verification, but not this template itself. This template is a self-reference and is part of the Wikipedia project rather than the encyclopedic content.
