Lists should always include unambiguous statements of membership criteria based on definitions made by reputable sources, especially in difficult or contentious topics. Beware of those cases in which the definitions themselves are disputed. Many lists on Wikipedia have been created without any membership criteria, and editors are left to guess about what or whom should be included only from the name of the list. Even if it might "seem obvious" what qualifies for membership in a list, explicit is better than implicit.<br />
<br />
Enter this tag in the body of an article, alongside the list member, as a request for other editors to find reputable sources for warranting the inclusion of this member in the list:<br />
<br />
'''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).<br />
<br />
For dealing with dubious information, please use {{tl|verify source}}. See also [[Wikipedia:Citing sources#Text that is, or is likely to be, disputed]].<br />
<br />
Regarding unsourced or poorly sourced information:<br />
<br />
# if it is likely true, but '''needs specificity''', you may use {{tl|specify}}<br />
# 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.<br />
# 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.<br />
