Learning, editing and publishing is a useful pursuit. I hope to add value to Wikipedia. I enjoy shortening wordy sentences and reorganizing articles. I enjoy interactions with pleasant editors. I do not like unkindness; this is not X (formerly known as Twitter).

Citation Needed In wiki markup, you can question an uncited claim by inserting a simple [citation needed] tag, or a more comprehensive [citation needed]. Alternatively, [citation needed] and [citation needed] will produce the same result. These all display as:

If a claim in an article is questionable and not supported by a cited reliable source then it may be challenged by anyone. You can put a ((fact)) tag beside it to request a citation. If it is inaccurate information from a dubious source put a ((Verify credibility)) tag on it – or find correct information and reference it from a reliable source. You also may use ((Verify source)) or ((Failed verification)) tags on it, as appropriate. If the tag has remained there for several days, the unsupported claim should be safe to remove.
