Purpose
ସମ୍ପାଦନାThis 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, accuracy or neutrality may be suspect. By finding multiple independent sources, the reliability of the encyclopedia is improved.
Parameters
ସମ୍ପାଦନାSynopsis
ସମ୍ପାଦନା{{One source|section|date=ନଭେମ୍ବର ୨୦୨୪}}
{{One source|text=Alternate first sentence|date=ନଭେମ୍ବର ୨୦୨୪}}
Subject
ସମ୍ପାଦନାThe first unnamed parameter replaces "This article relies" with "This PARAMETER relies".
For example, "{{One source|section}}" would display:
| This section relies largely or entirely upon a single source. Please help improve this article by introducing citations to additional sources. Discussion about the problems with the sole source used may be found on the talk page. |
First sentence
ସମ୍ପାଦନାYou can replace the entire first sentence by specifying the text= parameter. This can be used when the standard wording is not applicable, but the general intent of the template is.
Date
ସମ୍ପାଦନାAs with most cleanup templates, the date= 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 bot will add it later automatically.
Editorial usage
ସମ୍ପାଦନାThis template should only be used for encyclopedic content which has a verified, cited source, but only the one source.
A single source is not automatically a problem. Good judgment and common sense should be used.
Please consider improving the article or making a good faith attempt to find additional citations before adding this template.
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.
If you believe problems exist beyond the sources themselves, address that issue with an appropriate template (see below), rather than simply questioning the sources.
Alternatives
ସମ୍ପାଦନା- Sources and citations
- {{Unreferenced}} — No sources at all
- {{Primary sources}} — Dependence on primary sources
- {{Unreliable sources}} — Dependence on unreliable sources
- {{Refimprove}} — Multiple cited sources but still need additional sources
- {{Failed verification}} — Citation does not support the article's claim(s)
- {{Partisan sources}} — Sources only or mainly represent one view.
- Article content
Administrivia
ସମ୍ପାଦନାThis 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 ନଭେମ୍ବର ୨୦୨୪ will be used instead.
