==Purpose==
This template alerts people to encyclopedic content which appears to rely on a single source.

A single source is consideredusually less than ideal, because a single source may be inaccurate or biased. Without other sources for corroboration, [[Wikipedia:Verifiability|accuracy]] or [[Wikipedia:Neutral point of view|neutrality]] may be suspect. By finding multiple ''independent'' sources, the reliability of the encyclopedia is improved.
 
Citing only one source is not a violation of any policy. Consider ''not'' adding this tag to stubs, articles that are being actively expanded, or articles that have no apparent problems with verifiability and neutrality.
