Wikipedia:WikiProject Timeline Tracer/History source needed

Welcome to the WikiProject Timeline Tracer Information

This is a sub/page of WikiProject Timeline Tracer

Template:Histfact

The "history source needed" link you just followed was placed there because a Wikipedia editor feels that the preceding statement is, either likely to be challenged, and therefore needs an inline citation that confirms the historical claim if there is one, or that the statement lacks historical context and therefore needs an inline citationproviding historical context to validate the statement. If you can provide a source as explained, please be bold and add it. If not, please exercise extra caution when using the flagged information.

Examples

1. In the statement "that organization was founded in 1978 when the natural disasters had increased...", inserting {{Histfact}} will shows the need for a source that specifies in what historical context that happened, what disasters were those, where and when.
2. In the statement "those celtic tribes survived more than one invasion...", placing {{Histfact}} shows the need for a source that specifies in what historical context that happened, what invasions were those.
