Not true, cleanup also has a huge amount of articles, and while there's a
backlog, there's also a lot of people working on it. Currently,
[[Category:Articles with unsourced statements]] has a massive, totally
disorganized backlog, and was actually deleted a couple months ago because
it was so hopeless. A cleanup-like system would be a huge improvement, and
allow us to take care of the ones that most need sourcing first.

Hmmm yes I supose you could do it by creating

{{fact1610}} {{fact1710}} {{fact1810}} and so on.
Huh? I was thinking of something like {{fact|October 2006}},
by direct analogy with [[Template:Cleanup]].
{{Cleanup}} is a ticket to a year-long line. If we want to get
these issues addressed with any kind of speed (and it's clear
from the start of this thread that we do), any system that we
come up with needs to be as unlike {{cleanup}} as possible.
Personally, I suspect that the only way to handle these things
is to do them yourself. I long ago gave up on the notion of
article tags being an effective way to get anything but the most
trivial (and thus edit-count-building) maintenance work done.
