The {{Verify source}} tag flags a citation that may not actually support the claim it sits next to. This differs from {{Citation needed}}, which marks claims with no source at all.
Why this matters
Citations migrate across pages without being checked in their new context. A reference written for a botanical claim ends up after a historical claim it does not address. A page citation drifts to the wrong chapter during an edit. The fact of a citation existing is not the same as the citation supporting the surrounding text.
How to resolve a tag
- Read the source. If it supports the claim, remove the tag.
- Find a better source. If the existing source does not support the claim, locate one that does and replace the citation.
- Demote or rewrite. If no source supports the claim as written, demote to
{{Citation needed}}, or rewrite the sentence to match what an available source actually says.
Removing the {{Verify source}} tag without checking the source does not count as resolution.
