better option is to nuke the unsourced material. Sometimes {{fact}} is
warranted, I don't mean that it is always a bad idea. But it is overdone.
I very often see completely preposterous claims tagged with {{fact}},
usually because an editor is being excessively cautious. Be bold. :)

I agree, but in this case summarily removing all of the unsourced
statements will result in a revert, or a revert war. If you place
{{fact}} on all of the statements instead, it is much easier to delete
them a week from now.
