This [[Wikipedia:Template messages|template]] is used in articles to identify sentences or short passages whichthat 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.

===Usage===

Line 18:

Unsourced or poorly sourced contentious material about [[Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons|living persons]] should be '''removed immediately'''. Do not tag it— remove it. For more information, see the section on [[Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons#Remove unsourced or poorly sourced contentious material|poorly sourced contentious material]] in the Biography of Living Persons policy.

Material which is doubtful and harmful may be removed immediately, rather than tagged. See [[WikipediaWP:Citing sourcesBURDEN]].

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