Which jives with the Template page which I found very instructional:

[[ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Fact
   Regarding the unsourced or poorly sourced information:
    1. if it is likely true, but needs specificity, you may use
       {{specify}}
    2. if it is not doubtful, you may use {{fact}} or {{citequote}} tag
       to ask for better citation in order to make the article complete.
    3. if it is doubtful but not too harmful to the whole article, you
       may use {{verify source}} tag to ask for source verification.
    4. If it is doubtful and (quite) highly harmful, you may move it to
       the talk page and ask for a source.
    5. If it is very doubtful and very harmful, you may remove it
       directly without the need of moving it to the talk page first.
