Sometimes the tag is there because there is tons of unreferenced material in the article--science articles need a lot of references, and having multiple paragraphs unreferenced can be problemaitc. In which case I would leave the tag, unless I added a major or primary source that referenced additional material in the article, substantial and/or important material. For botany, we generally don't put unreferenced tags if there's even one source, and plant articles (unless it's a European herb) generally require going to IPNI or a single literature search to get the authority for the name. I usually remove the unreferenced tag on smaller articles or stubs if I add a single reference. No one has complained about my removing tags. People do complain about my tagging things, though. Some of the aircraft folks thing tags on articles are attacks on their persons, even when the article is essentially a copy of the sales brochure for the plane. I think tags are alerts to the reader of the article that you need to be more careful than usual obtaining material from an article. I think they need to stay put until the article is safe from warnings. You'll find out when you remove it if you have one of me watching the article. KP

There's also {{Unreferencedsection}} to be used at the head of a section. But checking on it at Template:Unreferenced, I found the following instruction: This template also has one optional field, which permits the user to be specific in what needs to be cited. For instance, if the entire article needs to be cited, a user would enter {{unreferenced}}; should they wish to be more specific on which section of the article needs to be cited, then the user could enter {{unreferenced|article's section called "Childhood"}}. First time I saw that, and it certainly will help. For one thing, one can simply add the optional field to existing tags.
