Welcome!
We are a group of volunteers dedicated to reviewing and adding references to articles that are in Category:Articles lacking sources and Category:Unreferenced BLPs.
Wikipedia's verifiability policy requires that: all quotations and anything challenged or likely to be challenged be attributed in the form of an inline citation that directly supports the material. Unfortunately, there are approximately 78,000 articles tagged as having no citations, which is one of Wikipedia's biggest cleanup categories.
We need your help! If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them on our discussion page.
- Want to join? Click here and add your name to the list of volunteers using the {{User|Name}} format.
- Need help adding references? See the following sections:
- Hints and tips; General starting point
- How to guide; A detailed guide for beginners
- Resources; A list of sources for finding references
Goal
The goal of this project is to ensure that:
- Articles meet at least the barest minimum of verifiability and notability, by including at least one reliable published (online or offline) reference. The highest priority are Biographies of Living Persons.
- An optional goal of this project is to add as many reliable references to articles as you can find. While this is optional, it is recommended, particularly when dealing with Biographies of Living Persons.
Scope
- All articles which have been tagged for having inadequate or no sources.
Related projects
- The Unreferenced BLP Rescue WikiProject focuses specifically on living persons.
- The Citation Cleanup WikiProject aims to improve the quality and consistency of citations and footnotes in Wikipedia.
- The Fact and Reference Check WikiProject has a bolder purpose: "nothing less than having facts in Wikipedia verified by multiple independent sources to make it the most authoritative source of information in the world."
Progress
There are 205 months of unreferenced articles in the backlog (Category:Articles lacking sources) with a count of 78,090 articles.
To view the progress of the backlog:
- Category:Articles lacking sources from November 2024—This category holds the latest unreferenced articles. There are 88 new articles so far this month.
- Category:Articles lacking sources from October 2024—This category also holds the previous month articles marked as unreferenced. There are 596 articles tagged.
- Category:Articles lacking sources from December 2009—This category contains the largest number of articles marked as unreferenced. There are 10,540 articles tagged. For editors who may like a challenge.
- Category:Articles lacking sources from January 2009—This category contains the earliest articles marked as unreferenced. There are 247 articles tagged here.
- Category:Articles lacking sources from February 2009—More early articles marked as unreferenced. There are 171 articles tagged here.

Hints and tips
This is list of the main ideas to keep in mind when working on this project. For a more detailed, step-by-step guide see this how to guide.
General
This section advises on how deal with articles that have insufficient inline citations or general references, appearing in the ==Notes== or ==References== section or both, as described in the citing sources guideline.
- In order to help people find this project, consider using an edit summary like the following: Wikipedia:WikiProject Unreferenced articles; [[WP:URA|you can help!]]
- If the article has no ==References== section
- Add a ==References== section adding "{{Reflist}}" below will automatically generate the list of footnotes if they are used.
- If a ==References== section already exists and it contains some general references add a ==Notes== section above the ==References== section and place within it a "{{Reflist}}" template.
- If an article has no inline-citations in the body of the article or general-citations in a ==References== section, then attempt to locate and add a citations to the article. See if any of the entries in the ==Further reading== or ==External links== sections can be used as references. If so then follow the guidance in citing sources guideline and move them to the appropriate place. Otherwise attempt to locate and add inline citations to the article.
- Be wary of circular referencing. There are many Wikipedia mirrors. In particular, Alphascript Publishing's books by Frederic P. Miller et al., Betascript Publishing, Icon Group International's "Webster's Quotations, Facts and Phrases" series, and Books, LLC all reuse Wikipedia content and appear in Google Books searches.
- If you have been unable to add any inline-citations, and you think the article needs them or the article still lacks any general-references then add the {{unreferenced}} template. Either add it at the top of the article or directly above the {{reflist}} template. However if the article is a {{stub}}, there is no general consensus on whether adding an {{unreferenced}} template is appropriate, so discuss it on the talk page first to see if there is a local consensus to add it.
- If the article has one inline-citation but is inadequately cited:
- add templates {{Refimprove}}, {{Primarysources}}, {{Onesource}} and {{rs}} as appropriate to put the article in Category:Articles lacking reliable references
- Templates {{Verify source}}, or {{Verify credibility}} tags to put the article in to Category:Wikipedia articles needing factual verification.
- If the reference is spam or completely unrelated, you may want to remove it and consider further action.
Check validity of articles
- Check if the article qualifies for speedy deletion/prod/afd/merge/redirect, review the rules and nominate as appropriate.
- If suspicious, check for possible copyright violation.
- Consider using {{find}} to look for sources.
- Validity related templates include {{citation style}}, {{OR}} and others from Category:Citation and verifiability maintenance templates

How to use
Number of banners posted |
---|
2,397 |
This banner is used to signify that an article has been provided with references by a member of this project. Like traditional project banners, this banner is placed on the talk page but it is only inserted after the improvements have been made. This will hopefully encourage others to follow suit when editing the article, and perhaps even join the project! The template should be placed in section 0 of the articles talk page, which is after any project templates and before any threaded discussions. When this template is applied the article's talk page becomes a member of Category:Articles improved by WikiProject Unreferenced articles.
Use the following code to place the banner on the article's talk page:
{{WikiProject Unreferenced articles|date={{subst:CURRENTDAY2}} {{subst:CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{subst:CURRENTYEAR}}}}
The date field is optional, but should be included.
Volunteers
{{User Unreferenced Articles}}

- Feel free to join, just add # and your name and the current date automatically by typing four tildes, like this:
# ~~~~
or# {{User|YOUR USER NAME}} ~~~~~
at the bottom of the list. If you'd like, you can also add a comment after your name if you volunteer for this cleanup project. - You might want to consider adding {{User Unreferenced Articles}} to your userpage, which will produce a box like the one at right.
