Hi LiteralTruth99! Thanks for contributing to Wikipedia. Please join other people who edit Wikipedia at the Teahouse! The Teahouse is a friendly space on Wikipedia where new editors can ask questions about contributing to Wikipedia and get help from peers and experienced editors. We hope to see you there!

Use of primary sources
editPlease be aware that Wikipedia requires secondary sources when building articles. For instance, it is not Wikipedia's job to do searches on donor databases to ascertain that somebody has donoted money to Obama. Such a claim, even when true, needs to be reported in reliable sources, since Wikipedia is not a newspaper. These rules exist to prevent WP:SYNTHESIS.

- Please use the article talk page, and if possible search for better sources. GiantSnowman 11:30, 14 September 2012 (UTC)
