Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.[need quotation to verify]

Do not substitute this template.

The {{Request quotation span}} template may be used when there is a piece of text that should be verified with quotation from a source. Unlike the template {{Request quotation}}, this template attaches explicitly to a portion of text, for example one or more specific sentences, by surrounding the text with the template. This is especially useful for flagging a block of multiple facts or multiple sentences as needing quotation, and for singling out a specific fact that needs quotation among many verified ones.

Avoid use for multiple paragraphs or around a list without closing and opening each template around each paragraph or list item. This kind of use causes linting errors and may disrupt the page display. An alternative with multiple paragraphs is using multiple {{Request quotation}}.

Once a quotation is added, please remove this template from the surrounded text.

{{Request quotation span|date=June 2024|Passage(s) to be verified with quotation}}, or:
{{Request quotation span|date=June 2024|text=Passage(s) to be verified with quotation}}

The date is optional, so the minimal syntax is:

{{Request quotation span|Passage(s) to be verified with quotation}}

Example of usage:

Verified material. {{Request quotation span|date=June 2024|Passage to be verified with quotation. Another passage to be verified with quotation.}} More verified material.
Verified material. Passage to be verified with quotation. Another passage to be verified with quotation.[need quotation to verify] More verified material.

Compare usage of {{Request quotation}}:

Verified material. Passage to be verified with quotation.{{Request quotation}} Another passage to be verified with quotation.{{Request quotation}} More verified material.
Verified material. Passage to be verified with quotation.[need quotation to verify] Another passage to be verified with quotation.[need quotation to verify] More verified material.
