TMG does not require that every tag have a source. It is recommended
by genealogical gurus that every fact should have a source. But whether
a tag has a source or not is strictly up to you. Unless of course you
plan to publish your work in a journal that requires sourcing.

If you want a source for every tag, as much for your own reference, make
a source of Personal Knowledge.
