 | This biography of a living person has an earlier version (diff) that contains unverifiable information. Please help restore this information to the current article by providing supporting citations to reliable sources. |
Please note: this template goes on the talk page of the article, not the article itself. For the reasoning behind this, see Template talk:BLP unverified#Overview.
This template is to be used on the talk page of biographies of living persons containing uncited information. Before using this template, you should:
- Remove from the article any uncited information that is likely to be contentious
- Copy the "oldid" of the version with the contentious material removed
- Remove additional uncited information according to your discretion
When to use this template[edit]
Stubbing biographies or other articles on Wikipedia solely on the basis that they are incompletely sourced is controversial. Stubbing articles should ideally only be done in response to a complaint by the article's subject, such as an OTRS request. Attack pages should also be pruned down to a neutral stub, if possible – although any non-neutral information should be removed outright, not archived via this template.
It is reasonable, however, to remove material that is plausible but which could not be verified after making a good faith effort to find reliable sources. Using this template gives editors with access to more complete references a chance to research and potentially restore such material, should they find sources for it.
Usage[edit]
After following the instructions above, place the template on the talk page of the article, with the oldid of the version containing unverified information.
{{BLP unverified|339312443}} produces:
| This biography of a living person has an earlier version (diff) that contains unverifiable information. Please help restore this information to the current article by providing supporting citations to reliable sources. |
Optionally, a "date" parameter can be used:
{{BLP unverified|339312443|date=May 2024}}
| This biography of a living person has an earlier version (diff) that contains unverifiable information. Please help restore this information to the current article by providing supporting citations to reliable sources.(May 2024) |
This template automatically adds the article to Category:Unverified BLPs, or one of its subcategories if a date parameter is included.
Removal[edit]
Once all sourceable information from the earlier version has been restored to the article with accompanying citations, this template should be removed.
