Citation needed tag left unresolved

edit

Hey, I keep noticing that there are articles where the [citation needed] tag has remained unresolved for years. Sometimes they are left unresolved for decades.

Is there any kind of policy or essay regarding this kind of phenomenon?CycoMa1 (talk) 18:52, 27 May 2024 (UTC)Reply

WP:PROVEIT is one starting point, but the short version is that if material has been tagged for a long time and you don't believe sources exist that can be used to verify the material that has been challenged, removing the material is an option. Depending on the length and nature of the material in question, you might consider leaving a note at the article's Talk page discussing the removal. DonIago (talk) 18:14, 28 May 2024 (UTC)Reply

updating info re: adding a citation, adding a visual editor description for "citation needed" tag

edit

Right now, the page says "You can add a citation by selecting from the drop-down cite menu at the top of the editing box," with "cite" illustrated by this image.

However, in the current visual editor, there is no drop-down cite menu; instead, citations are added by clicking on a button, where the image on the button is double quotation marks. Does anyone know where to find an image of the quotation marks button to replace the current "cite" drop-down menu image?

Also, there's currently no discussion of how to add a "citation needed" tag using the visual editor, only how to do it using wiki markup. I think it would be good to add something about how to do it using the visual editor. I'm new to adding "citation needed" tags, and the way that I figured out to do it is: click on the "+" drop-down menu, choose "Template," write "Citation needed" in the Find template box, and then click on the top response. Is that the most efficient way to do it using the visual editor, or is there a more efficient way? If my description is the way to do it, and people agree that it would be helpful to add this description, does anyone know where to find an image of the "+" drop-down to add, and perhaps also images of the template icon and a search box?
