The {{Tl|Verify quote}} template will automatically place tagged articles into [[:Category:Wikipedia articles needing factual verification]].

== Usage ==
'''{{tlx|Verify quote|date{{=}}{{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}}}}'''

Use this inline template tag to label an ostensibly sourced quotation, to request verification with the original source. This is most often needed when:
* The quotation is misformatted, ungrammatical, or has other problems that suggest it was not properly transcribed from the original.
* The quotation may have been edited down or taken out of context to [[WP:NOR|imply something the original author/speaker did not actually mean]]
* The quotation looks like it may have been entirely falsified.
If the quotation does seem reliable, but simply lacks proper citations, then use {{Tl|Cite quote}} instead. In general, add the {{tl|Verify quote}} template only after a good faith attempt to verify the quotation has already been made. If the article has broader sourcing problems, a banner template like {{Tl|Refimprove}} may be more appropriate.

Regarding unsourced or poorly sourced information:
# If it is '''doubtful''' but '''unlikely to be harmful''' to the whole article, use a template like this to ask for source verification.
# If it is '''doubtful''' and '''potentially harmful''', move the information to the talk page and ask for a source.
# If it is '''very doubtful''' and '''very harmful''', remove the information immediately, without the need of moving it to the talk page first.
# If it is '''doubtful''' and '''potentially harmful''' with regard to a [[WP:BLP|living person]], remove the information immediately, without the need of moving it to the talk page first.
# If it is '''not doubtful''', use {{tl|Cite quote}} (or {{Tl|Citation needed}} for non-quotation material) to request a citation to improve the article's [[WP:V|verifiability]].
