[history source needed]

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 "it was started by Lord Champs in 2001 and enhanced two years later ...", inserting {{Histfact}} will show the need for a source that confirms not only the date of starting but also the historical development (that it was enhanced) and when.
  2. In the statement "that organization was founded in 1978 when the natural disasters had increased...", inserting {{Histfact}} will show the need for a source that specifies in what historical context that happened, what disasters were those, where and when.
  3. 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.
