<br />
==Purpose==<br />
This template alerts people to encyclopedic content which appears to rely on a single source. A single source is considered less than ideal because a single source may be inaccurate or biased. Without other sources for corroboration, [[Wikipedia:Verifiability|accuracy]] or [[Wikipedia:Neutral point of view|neutrality]] may be suspect. By finding multiple ''independent'' sources, the reliability of the encyclopedia is improved.<br />
<br />
==Parameters==<br />
===Synopsis===<br />
<code><nowiki>{{One source|section|date=</nowiki>{{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}}<nowiki>}}</nowiki></code><br />
<br />
<code><nowiki>{{One source|text=Alternate first sentence|date=</nowiki>{{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}}<nowiki>}}</nowiki></code><br />
<br />
===Subject===<br />
The first unnamed parameter replaces "This article relies" with "This ''PARAMETER'' relies". <br />
<br />
For example, "<code><nowiki>{{One source|section}}</nowiki></code>" would display:<br />
<br />
{{One source|section}}<br />
<br />
===First sentence===<br />
You can replace the entire first sentence by specifying the <code>text=</code> parameter. This can be used when the standard wording is not applicable, but the general intent of the template is.<br />
<br />
===Date===<br />
As with most cleanup templates, the <code>date=</code> parameter sorts the article into subcategories of [[:Category:Articles lacking sources]], allowing the oldest problems to be identified and dealt with first. You do not need to specify the date manually; a [[WP:Bots|bot]] will add it later automatically.<br />
<br />
==Editorial usage==<br />
This template should only be used for encyclopedic content which has a verified, cited source, but only the one source.<br />
<br />
A single source is not automatically a problem. Good judgment and common sense should be used.<br />
<br />
Please consider improving the article or making a good faith attempt to find additional citations before adding this template.<br />
<br />
It is considered good form to provide a rationale in your edit summary or on the talk page of the article. The more specifically you describe your concerns, the less likely other editors are to misunderstand.<br />
<br />
If you believe problems exist beyond the sources themselves, address that issue with an appropriate template (see below), rather than simply questioning the sources.<br />
<br />
===Alternatives===<br />
*Sources and citations<br />
**{{Tl|Unreferenced}} — No sources at all<br />
**{{Tl|Primary sources}} — Dependence on primary sources<br />
**{{Tl|Unreliable sources}} — Dependence on unreliable sources<br />
**{{Tl|Refimprove}} — Multiple cited sources but still need additional sources<br />
**{{Tl|Failed verification}} — Citation does not support the article's claim(s)<br />
**{{Tl|Partisan sources}} — Sources only or mainly represent one view.<br />
*Article content<br />
**{{Tl|POV}} — Neutrality, point-of-view, bias<br />
**{{Tl|Disputed}} — Factual accuracy<br />
<br />
==Administrivia==<br />
This template will categorise tagged articles into [[:Category:Articles needing additional references]]. If a date is supplied, a monthly category like [[:Category:Articles needing additional references from {{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}}]] will be used instead.<br />
<br />
Do not [[Wikipedia:Substitution|subst:]] this template.<br />
