Articles with no references
For an article with nocitations, add the template {{
unreferenced}} to the beginning of the article to flag it for review and addition of citations. This will automatically add the article to
Category:Articles lacking sources.
If the article has only one reference or external link (that is related to the article content), use {{
one source}} to put the article in
Category:Articles lacking sources.
There are a number of different
Wikipedia Backlog categories that help track the existing backlog of referencing activities. They fall into two major groups, Lacking references and Ensuring accuracy through existing references.
At the moment, there are over 517,348 articles with "Citation needed" statements. They are some of the easiest referencing issues to solve, because you are frequently looking for a targeted and singular reference. You can browse the whole list of these articles at
Category:All articles with unsourced statements.
With 517,348 statements that need
WP:Verification, sometimes it's hard to choose which article to work on. The tool
Citation Hunt makes that easier by suggesting random articles, which you can sort by topical category membership.
