I tried a sample of some not-very-public individuals, & most of the tags I saw were placed on innocuous elements of the biography, such as ...went to X College {{fact}}, while many similar factual statements were not tagged. On slightly more-public people, they were often on one particular--often noncontroversial-- opinion, while many more equally unsupported ones were present.
It is possible that these may reflect a real question, but this means also checking details back through the earlier versions of the page & the talk page to see when the tag was applied and whether there was a reason, or just someone being difficult. It can't usually be spotted just from the page history, as most of the edits don't have edit summaries.
There is not going to be an easy way to upgrade the bios.

Jonel's edits are 1 or 2 minutes apart. It's impossible to properly evaluate an article in that time.
I agree. I did a couple of these -- very short on free time this weekend, despite the bank holiday:( -- deleting one statement I couldn't find a source for, and adding a reference for one I could. Each must have taken the best part of ten minutes, although partially this is because I'm still not very good at wikitext and end up having to go through page preview several times before it looks right ;)
