User:AnotherConsumerRightsPerson/Sandbox
Just another consumer rights person. I have a secret en.wikipedia.org account (good luck finding that) and like the idea of a wiki where I can actually do bigger stuff instead of small edits. Also, I am currently at war with the abuse filter. It has not left me alone today. Apparently, adding template 
is a crime.
Use this template when an uncited claim is made in an article. The " Articles in need of citations" category is automatically applied to the article when published.
Usage
Simply add {{Citation needed}} after the statement that needs a citation. This creates a superscript "citation needed" tag that appears as:
I want to mark this[citation needed]
