Category:Articles needing more detailed references

This is a maintenance category, used for maintenance of the Wikipedia project. It is not part of the encyclopedia and contains non-article pages, or groups articles by status rather than subject. Do not include this category in content categories. This is a tracking category. It builds and maintains a list of pages primarily for the sake of the list itself. They are not part of the encyclopedia's categorization scheme. This category is hidden on its member pages—unless the corresponding user preference (appearance → show hidden categories) is set. These categories can be used to track, build and organize lists of pages needing "attention en masse" (for example, pages using deprecated syntax), or that may need to be edited at someone's earliest convenience. These categories also serve to aggregate members of several lists or sub-categories into a larger, more efficient list (discriminated by classifications).

Administrators: Please do not delete this category as empty! This category may be empty occasionally or even most of the time.

Wikipedia articles needing more detailed citations belong in this category. Use {{Specify}} or {{Full citation needed}} to add an article to this category. See also Category:Articles with unsourced statements for articles with small numbers of statements lacking references, identified by {{Citation needed}} or {{Citations missing}}. You can also participate in Wikipedia:Unreferenced articles or Wikipedia:WikiProject Fact and Reference Check. This category is a self-reference.
