In general, I find the {{fact}} tagging to be

better option is to nuke the unsourced material. Sometimes {{fact}} is
warranted, I don't mean that it is always a bad idea. But it is overdone.
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.
That's more sensible.
The overdone tagging goes both ways. Sometimes the proper bold act is
just to remove the tag, and other times to remove the alleged information.
