WP:V is deliberately vague on this point and editors have to use common sense. If an article says "John Smith is a killer" and there's no source, remove it immediately. But an edit saying "Skiiing is Switzerland's top sport" can be tagged (but please remember to go back at some point to see if a source has turned up), or better still, the editor who's questioning it could look for a source himself. There are so many gradations of unsourced material between these two examples that we couldn't possibly be algorithmic about it, so editors have to be sensible: the more harmful or the sillier an unsourced edit looks, the faster it should be removed.
Precisely!
