citation needed
I noticed that on Ted Cruz, you added in to request a citation. There is a more effective way of doing it, which is easier, follows a Wikipedia standard, and adds the article to a category noting that it needs citations. Simply type in and that produces something like this: &#91;citation needed&#93; That will make it easier for you to highlight uncited statements, and for others who look to fix (or remove) them.

 * Thanks Horologium! Not sure if I'm using the talk page correctly by writing this here.  But thanks.  I appreciate your welcome message and your advice!  (Stormdancer1231 (talk) 00:47, 3 February 2013 (UTC))


 * You're using the talk page correctly. (You'll notice that starting a line with a colon indents, and adding another indents a little more(and so on); that's the easy way to thread conversations. I added a colon at the beginning of your comment, to separate it from my original comment.) I encountered you on one of the articles on my watchlist, saw that your edits had improved the article, and discovered that you had just started editing. The welcome page template I left here has all sorts of useful links. I hope you'll stay; there's always something which can be improved.  Horologium  (talk) 13:54, 3 February 2013 (UTC)
