Yeah, I hate that. Why not just use

warning (better, even), and not at all as annoying.
How about we give a class to
template:fact so that people could add
#cite-request {
display: none;
}
to their skin's CSS and make them vanish, if they're sufficiently
annoyed by them? That way everyone's preferences can coexist.
I'm more concerned about how it looks to readers, not to people who
know how to edit their skin settings.
I don't think that it would be a good idea to hide them by default,
though, since then almost nobody would ever see them.
{{unsourced}} is well and good when an article has _no_ references, but
when an article is a blend of sourced and unsourced statements I think
it's better to have something that we can use to label individual
statements as needing citations. If they make the article look ugly, one
could consider that as a visual representation of the state of the
article's verification. We can de-uglify by adding appropriate references.
