Use the {{Verify}} template to denote assertions you are unsure about.

[edit] Citation vs. Verification

Citation and verification are two related concepts: in either case, an editor requests further evidence that an assertion is accurate. The two differ in importance only: whereas the {{verify}} template is used to ask fellow editors to confirm that they have heard the same account of information, the {{cite}} is a plea for concrete proof, i.e. a quote or a hyperlink. A citation is often much harder (and perhaps completely impossible) to obtain; a verification, instead, is generally straightforward.
