Another example I encountered today.
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Igor_Stravinsky&curid=38172&diff=141575335&oldid=141551387

Was this overtagging? I think so, the article has plenty of sources, just
not everything is cited. Plus the information tagged with {{fact}} does not
seem controversial or possibly false.
