I think its a good idea, but you should always remember
[[m:instruction creep]]
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.
