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 ;)
