Personally, I tag something with {{fact}} when I believe it to be correct but it's unsourced and I don't know where to verify it myself. If I believe it's actually wrong, I prefer to move it to the talk page pending verification.
Which jives with the Template page which I found very instructional:
[[ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Fact Regarding the unsourced or poorly sourced information: 1. if it is likely true, but needs specificity, you may use {{specify}} 2. if it is not doubtful, you may use {{fact}} or {{citequote}} tag to ask for better citation in order to make the article complete. 3. if it is doubtful but not too harmful to the whole article, you may use {{verify source}} tag to ask for source verification. 4. If it is doubtful and (quite) highly harmful, you may move it to the talk page and ask for a source. 5. If it is very doubtful and very harmful, you may remove it directly without the need of moving it to the talk page first. ]]
