A while. A good first step towards creating one would be to create a section in:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_in_culture


"...stickler editors patrol the site flagging unattributed facts with
the label "citation needed."

http://www.nytimes.com/2008/06/23/business/media/23link.html?_r=4&oref=slogin&oref=slogin&oref=slogin&oref=slogin

"Now some sourcing enthusiasts have liberated the "[citation needed]"
tag from its cyber origins."

http://www.highbeam.com/doc/1G1-174971675.html

(same incerdent)

"One of my favorite quirks about" Wikipedia, Mechtley writes on his
blog, Biphenyl (biphenyl.org/blog), "are the little [citation needed]
tags that users can place in an article, indicating that a dubious..."

http://www.highbeam.com/doc/1P2-15037358.html

There is also some stuff from the launch of  Veropedia that might be
possible to get in.

Not there yet but perhaps with a bit more digging something could be
put together.

What may be of interest is:

Surprising number of people appear to actually be clicking the link.

Not really. Millions of people see that link every day, and yet only
about 16k people click it. Any link which appears on that many pages
will get a lot of hits, but the page isn't getting extraordinary
amounts of traffic.

I'd like to see a lot more documentation of wider use of this term
before it's an article, but that's a very good start!

I call dibs on writing that article once it gets notable enough.

Nothing is notable until someone starts to write it.

If any Americans still read this mailing list I triple-dog dare them
to unfurl a [citation needed] banner at a large rally before the
presidential candidate of their choosing.

I just might take you up on that, CW. Of course Palin will immediately whip
out her King James. Oh well, I've been tossed out of better places than a
Republican rally :-).

Are you suggesting that Palin traveled through or over Canadian
territory with a King James bible therefor violating Canadian
copyright law? Okey so the law is kinda unclear on that point and I'm
not aware of any caselaw.

Just don't joke about it on-site or you'll be lynch-monished for violating BLP.
