This [[Wikipedia:Template messages|template]] is used in articles to identify sentences or short passages that have an [[Wikipedia:Citing sources|inline citation]] but ''improperly'' reference a source that is biased because of very close connection to the subject, such as the manufacturer of a product.
==
Place this template inline, {{tlx|
It produces a superscripted notation like the following:
:This is a fantastic product.{{
Use this template to "tag" dubious information or analysis which cites references produced by someone close to the subject of the article, so that other editors can know to back up the statement with citations, per [[Wikipedia:Verifiability]].
;{{Para|date}}:
This template allows an optional date parameter that records when the tag was added. If this template is added without the date parameter, the date parameter will be added soon after by a [[WP:BOT|bot]].
;{{Para|reason}}:
Because it may not be immediately apparent to other editors what about the tagged passage is in need of, it is generally helpful to add a brief reason for the tag: {{Tlx|Independent source inline|date{{=}}{{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}}|reason{{=}}<var>What the problem is</var>}}. The {{Para|reason}} parameter displays when the cursor is placed over the template, eg. {{Independent source inline|reason=The reason for adding the template appears here}}
If the explanation would be lengthy, use the article's talk page. The reason parameter does not display properly if it contains quotation marks.
== Categorisation ==
Adding this template to an article will automatically place the article into [[:Category:Wikipedia articles needing clarification]], or a dated subcategory thereof.
Adding this template to an article places the article into one of a family of categories identifying "Articles lacking reliable references". To find all such articles, see [[:Category:All articles lacking reliable references]].
Unsourced or poorly sourced contentious material about [[Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons|living persons]] should be '''removed immediately'''. Do not tag
Material which is doubtful and harmful may be removed immediately, rather than tagged. See [[WP:BURDEN]].

If no reference is given, use the {{Tlx|citation needed}} tag instead.
