I would suggest that such a tag should only be added to articles that are obviously in dire need of references/sources. (i.e., although all articles ideally should have references/sources, only focus on those with information that some question). In fairness, the vast majority of Wikipedia would otherwise be subject to tagging!
I'm struck by how many articles have *no* sources. That's what this is for.
I see there is also [[Template:Unsourced]], which is probably the same thing. Except that contains the following text:
This article lacks references. Members of WikiProject Fact and Reference Check and the Forum for Encyclopedic Standards are working to correct this problem. Please help Wikipedia become more credible and useful by adding sources.
To me, that seems to say "go away, we have a special group to fix it, not you." Or, at best, "don't bother, someone else will do it." Is there any good reason to keep that second sentence at all? More words on a tag muffle the point.
