Category:All articles with unsourced statements

This category has a backlog that requires the attention of willing editors. This notice will hide itself when this category has fewer than 100,000 items. (recount)

This is a maintenance category, used for maintenance of the Wikipedia project. It is not part of the encyclopedia and contains non-article pages, or groups articles by status rather than subject. Do not include this category in content categories. This is a tracking category. It builds and maintains a list of pages primarily for the sake of the list itself. They are not part of the encyclopedia's categorization scheme. This category is hidden on its member pages—unless the corresponding user preference (appearance → show hidden categories) is set. These categories are used to track, build and organize lists of pages needing "attention en masse" (for example, pages using deprecated syntax), or that may need to be edited at someone's earliest convenience. These categories also serve to aggregate members of several lists or sub-categories into a larger, more efficient list (discriminated by classifications).

This is a category to help keep count of the total number of articles with the {{citation needed}} template. They should all be in one of the dated categories, which can be found at Category:Articles with unsourced statements. For the historical size of the backlog, see this offwiki tool.

Want to help reduce the backlog?[edit]

With 397,259 in this category sometimes it's hard to choose which article to work on. The tool Citation Hunt makes that easier by suggesting random articles, which you can sort by topical category membership.
