Scientific citation needed

Is it possible to add the template [scientific citation needed] as I found articles with trivial citations but there is a need to find the scientific background .. if there is any ;-)

This is the article from whence the information needing citation came.

Deleting line about where to put the template (middle of sentence, end of sentence) ...

I just deleted the line about where to put the template. It was added by Quiddity on July 5 as a result of this brief discussion on the talk page. At the time, Quiddity made the edit despite acknowledging that the info probably belonged in the more detailed documentation.

Well, I think that was the right instinct. I think this page should just provide top-level information. The anonymous editor who had the question should have looked to the more-detailed documentation for his answer, and if it wasn't there, he should have asked his question there.

Ahhh, the earthshattering issues that keep me lying awake nights ... Andrew Gradman talk/WP:Hornbook 06:17, 5 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

diff for clarity/reference, and no objections from me. :) –Quiddity (talk) 01:56, 7 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

in biographies

How about properly-sourced claims in biographies of living people that are outright false (source is false)? Deleted immediately or discussed?
