Exactly how I would have handled it.  Add a {{fact}} tag.  If I  have the 
sources to look-up then I will, if I don't, I or we presume that some  other 
interested editor *will* and will do so, and fix the suspect clause within  a 
certain amount of time.
 
You can view the *backlog* of fact tag's to see that there is a great  amount 
of work yet to do.  I find some that are over a year old.   Typically if I 
were an interested editor, I'd only let it live for a week before  removing the 
clause.
 
But again, this case is two years old.  I.E. it was settled long  ago.
