I have found some POTENTIAL information on a relative of mine. Potential in caps, because I don't know if the information is correct or not. What I would like to do is in the person record I would like to add some information that is not yet confirmed, but have it displayed so if any of my other users can confirm it. It can then be added in the correct event.
Something like a "Research Pending Confirmation" location.
Any Ideas/Suggestions?

Sounds like a NOTE to me, associated with the individual in question.
Depending on the nature of the information either a level 1 note (only displayed on the NOTES tab) or a level 2 note under whatever event (Birth, marriage, death, etc) it relates to.
You can either just describe it clearly as unconfirmed (and don't forget to add source information) or you can use the QUAL tag to indicate the (poor) quality of the data.
You can also use the RESN tag if you want to limit access, useful if the information is at all sensitive.
There isn't a central location where you could store all such "Research Pending Confirmation" items - but if you included that title in every such note, you would be able to search for all occurrences of it later.

You know... I never even saw the Notes Tab, I really have to start looking at the options i have there.
Thanks that works for me!
