Just don't add fact tags.

There have even been cases in which a "fact tag war" has degenerated into "If you think my statements are unsupported, why don't '''you''' go look up the sources.  As though the burden of finding sources is on the person who doesn't agree with the statement.  Don't let things go down that path either.

Here's what you should do if you find a statement that you think is wrong or misleading.  First, think very carefully about how the new statement should be worded, so as not to be misleading, and so as to upset people as little as possible.  Then, do diligent homework on finding references that support your position.  Then edit the article.  Remember, the person whose work you are changing is likely to be upset.  Try to avoid exacerbating the situation.  Don't engage in edit wars; make the article truly better.  People will support you in this.
