For the upcoming WikiGames Sourcing Slalom, we are asked to remove the {{unsourced}} box or [[unsourced]] category from the profile once we have added a source.

What if I add one source, but the profile has 3 {{unsourced}} boxes?? If I add a birth source for someone born in Ireland, but they have the boxes {{Unsourced|Ireland}}, {{Unsourced Maine}}, {{Unsourced|New York}}. Do I remove all the {{unsourced}} boxes or only the one for the source I add (e,g, Ireland)? If I only remove one and leave the other two, will it count in the Sourcing Slalom?? Should I avoid all profiles with multiple {{unsourced}} boxes if I cannot spend the time finding multiple sources in multiple jurisdictions? I am seeing a lot of profiles with multiple unsourced categories.

You should remove all of them. It would be great to add several sources, but one is all that is required to have the profile considered sourced.

Multiple unsourced templates are added, so the profile will be found by folks searching for profiles in a particular area.

You can add maintenance categories, for example Ireland needs birth record, for any of the facts without a source.
