This template should be used to indicate that there arean excessive number of citations for the same claim or sentence. Such a large number of citations can be aesthetically unappealing and may make the article unreadable or may lead to confusion about what exactly each citation is used in support of.

This template may be removed by anyone who fixes the problem.

How to fix

If all the citations are useful for the associated sentence, considerbundling citations.
If some of the citations relate to content earlier in the paragraph or article, consider moving the citations closer to the content they verify.
For multiple primary citations, consider if they can be replaced with an equivalentsecondary source.

It may be used with {{More citations needed}} or other check references templates. This template should not be used withstubs.
