Sourcing
Welcome to Wikipedia. I reviewed your contributions to Ben Reyes and found that they were not what we are looking for on here.
 * Please avoid using Peacock words - think of how a neutral article would be written. Please see NPOV
 * Please understand that Ben Reyes is a living person and his article must comply with BLP - Just about everything in the article needs to be sourced to reliable publications. Please see V and Citing sources

 * Stop adding unsourced information and peacock words immediately . Your account may be blocked for violating BLP. WhisperToMe (talk) 13:44, 31 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Further looking at things, you cited http://www.lib.utexas.edu/taro/houpub/00094/hpub-00094.html - But citations need to be inline. I'll look at the source and I'll see what it has. I will show you how to source things. WhisperToMe (talk) 13:45, 31 March 2010 (UTC)

Okay, you did cite a source that has info on him, so I am adding stuff directly supported by the source. Citations need to be inline, so I am doing that at the moment. WhisperToMe (talk) 13:52, 31 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Alright, I added everything that is directly supported by that source. I'll take a look at the rest of your edit and I'll explain what needs to be further supported. WhisperToMe (talk) 13:59, 31 March 2010 (UTC)
 * 1 "Hero" and "legend" are inappropriate for Wikipedia, "" is not directly supported by the library source. "and an informent being paid $350,000" is not supported by any of the sources stated. "He is considering a run in 2012 for the mostly Hispanic 29th Congressional District seat." is not supported by any of the sources.
 * "felony charges, including illegally accepting corporate campaign contributions (taking $51,000 United States dollars to influence votes for a project for a convention center hotel)," should not be deleted, as it is stated in the sources.
 * The addition of "a recipient of 2 Purple Hearts" made the category stop working

 * While searching for info about the Purple Heart I found: http://www.houstonpress.com/1999-12-30/news/the-good-the-bad-the-imprisoned/www.texascrawfishfestival.com which said that it was faked. I included everything Fleck said about Reyes. WhisperToMe (talk) 14:08, 31 March 2010 (UTC)
