User:Ritchie333/Don't overdose on citation requests

I was just that was absolutely littered with cn tags. 

We have the tag for a good reason. People like to know that what they're reading has some actual grounds in reality and a good chance of being, you know, factually correct. (It isn't always, but we aim to get close) So if you think something is probably true, ask the person who added the tag to cite it. So far, so good.

Spin forward, oooh, four, five, six, years - and the tag is still there, with all the charm and beauty of a derelict housing estate.

Just say no. If an article is so badly unreferenced that asking for citation requests needs to be done on every single sentence, put a tag at the top. Or, even better, cite some of it yourself. You know those book tokens your grandma got you last Christmas? Go out and buy some good factual stuff and reference it.
