Template:Request quotation span
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.[need quotation to verify]
Usage
Do not substitute this template.
The {{Request quotation span}} template may be used when there is a piece of text that should be verified with quotation from a source. Unlike the template {{Request quotation}}, this template attaches explicitly to a portion of text, for example one or more specific sentences, by surrounding the text with the template. This is especially useful for flagging a block of multiple facts or multiple sentences as needing quotation, and for singling out a specific fact that needs quotation among many verified ones.
Avoid use for multiple paragraphs or around a list without closing and opening each template around each paragraph or list item. This kind of use causes
Once a quotation is added, please remove this template from the surrounded text.
{{Request quotation span|date=September 2024|Passage(s) to be verified with quotation}}, or:{{Request quotation span|date=September 2024|text=Passage(s) to be verified with quotation}}
The date is optional, so the minimal syntax is:
{{Request quotation span|Passage(s) to be verified with quotation}}
Example of usage:
Verified material.{{Request quotation span|date=September 2024|Passage to be verified with quotation. Another passage to be verified with quotation.}}More verified material.
- Verified material. Passage to be verified with quotation. Another passage to be verified with quotation.[need quotation to verify] More verified material.
Compare usage of {{Request quotation}}:
