Citation templates[edit]

Hi, thanks for working on the Uniting American Families Act, but you used no actual citation templates, only put unformatted citations in braces { }. Please check {{cite news}} and {{cite web}} for how to use citation templates. Regards Hekerui (talk) 08:25, 11 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Federation for American Immigration Reform[edit]

Thakns for your addition to Federation for American Immigration Reform. However it appears that you are just using FAIR's own website as your sole source. Wikipedia articles should be based primarily on secondary sources, like newspapers and magazines. Our job is to compile all significant points of view, not simply re-write the material on a website, If readers want to know FAIR's view of itself, they can simply follow the link. Instead we should use reliable sources to give a balanced picture. For example, some of the issues which they include in their policy list may not be where they actually spend most of their effort. Media sources are likelier to reflect the actual priorities of the group. It's complicated but the basic policy points are at WP:NPOV and WP:V. Please revise the material using more sources when you have a chance. Will Beback talk 07:45, 7 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
