This template is used to cite sources in Wikipedia. It is specifically for some guy in a bar. Given what passes for reliable sources nowadays, we might as well have this template. This template replaces the deprecated {{ drunk guy}}. In certain specific situations, {{ cite guy on subway}} or {{ cite something I heard somewhere}} work better.
All field names must be in lowercase.
Copy a blank version to use. Remember to use the "|" (pipe) character between each field. Please delete any unused fields to avoid clutter in the edit window.

Example 1 | {{cite guy in bar |sobriety=drunk |volume=high |vehemence=extreme |gesturing=hands, arms |number of friends=4 |friends agreement=nodding, murmuring |drink=shots-and-beers |dress=casual |type of bar=sports |football games on=4 |heard on=radio |read in= |heard from= |swore to God/Christ=yes |passed out after=yes (full floor dive) }} |
Some guy in a bar, but he was definitely, definitely on the level. I totally believe him. |
Note that, under the principle of in vino veritas, the more drunk the source is, the more reliable the information. Volume and vehemence are also important in establishing the veracity of the information.
Venue is also important. If it's one of those bars where everybody is wearing black, and the source is drinking absinthe or some fruity drink or something, and they are playing shoegaze music (but ironically, of course) or whatever instead of showing the Rams game, then obviously the source is not reliable.
