Usage

This is an inline template used to flag facts in an article as being cited to self-published sources and thus potentially unreliable, per WP:V#SELF (WP:RS and WP:NPOV may also be relevant, but the link to goes to WP:V#SELF).

This template will categorize tagged articles into Category:Accuracy disputes.

To flag citations themselves as being to such questionable sources, use Template:Self-published source, inside of <ref></ref>. For whole sections or articles, use Template:Self-published.

This template takes one compulsory parameter (which if not set by the editor will be set by a bot):

• date=date — in the format "Month Year" or "YYYY-MM-DD" etc.
