<!-- TEMPLATE END. This comment and the text below has been <noinclude>'d, so it will not appear in the template when used on pages -->
----
Use this tag, '''<nowiki>{{Citequote}}</nowiki>''', for '''quotations that are used without a citation'''. Per [[Wikipedia:Citing sources]]: "You should always add a citation when quoting published material, and the citation should be placed directly after the quote, which should be enclosed within double quotation marks — "like this" — or single quotation marks if it's a quote-within-a-quote — "and here is such a 'quote' as an example." Statements marked with this template will put their articles in [[:Category:Articles with unsourced quotes]].
Do not use this tag in order to label text which appears doubtful or false, '''especially''' in the case of [[Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons|biographies of living people]] (see [[Wikipedia:Three-revert_rule#Reverting_potentially_libellous_material|this section of WP:3RR]] as well). Otherwise please use {{tl|verify source}}.
Regarding the unsourced or poorly sourced information:
# if it is '''not doubtful''', you may use {{tl|fact}} or {{tl|citequote}} tag to ask for better citation in order to make the article complete.
# if it is '''doubtful''' but '''not too harmful''' to the whole article, you may use {{tl|verify source}} tag to ask for source verification. <br>
# If it is '''doubtful''' and '''(quite) highly harmful''', you may move it to the talk page and ask for a source. <br>
# If it is '''very doubtful''' and '''very harmful''', you may remove it directly without the need of moving it to the talk page first.
