When to use
Use this tag if an inline citation to a source is given, and you suspect that the source is quoting material first published in Wikipedia. If that is the case, this is a situation of circular reporting or "citogenesis", and the cited sentence can not be verified from the source.
To verify the reliability of the source, discover when the fact was first added to the Wikipedia article with the Blame tool, and try to find a source that supports the fact and was published before that date.
