The Dakota
I noticed you added unsourced content to The Dakota. Don't worry, I referenced it for you! Although referencing can seem daunting at first (it was for me) it is quite easy with the right tools.

Here are two of my favorite referencing tools so you can provide a reference yourself: User:Dispenser/Reflinks for websites and Citation tool for Google Books. Adding a reference instead of a tag will make the encyclopedia much more presentable to the readers. Thanks!- Gilliam (talk) 16:14, 13 August 2014 (UTC)
