[not specific enough to verify]
This tag is for placement after purportedly factual statements that could be relevant, but are not cited and are too general for a {{citeneeded}} tag. Preferably the offending statement should be made more specific and then either cited or tagged for needing citation, but in some cases the best way to make the statement more specific may be unclear. Similarly, the statement should be deleted if determined to be unnecessary, but in some cases the outright deletion of the statement would be inappropriate or inflame controversy.
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.
