  For the entry type @unpublished, note is one of the mandatory fields, so BibTeX is complaining "by design".

  Taking a closer look at your citation1 entry: Is this a yet-to-be published article where the journal is already known (because you specify year, volume, number and pages)? If so, use @article and add a note (here: optional) saying "forthcoming" or " in press".

As pointed out by @lockstep in the comments, note is one of the mandatory fields for the @unpublished entry type.

This warning will disappear if you change the entrytype from @unpublished to @generic, @conference, or @inproceedings.

Instead of changing the entry type you can also enter an actual note in the Extra field. For example, for the @Manuscript entry I usually enter 'working paper' or 'unpublished.
