[confirm]

Result:
[confirm]

- I actually thought about changing it to "confirmation needed", but I forgot to do it. 2 March 2012

Therefore, it has nothing to do at all with citations. It just means that you are not sure about that statement and that someone should verify that it is indeed right. 4 March 2012
