Hello! I just wanted to say thank you for adding a reference to your edit. That's very important for editors to do. On a side note, you may want to consider changing your username. While being an advocate of truth is obviously positive, "truth" is often a vague concept. The reason I suggest changing your username is because Wikipedia has a list of things that Wikipedia is not and specifically, a section called WP:NOTADVOCATE that outlines that Wikipedia is not a place to advocate a cause. While I'm certainly not suggesting that you're here to advocate opinions, others may perceive it, especially when you use all caps in an edit summary like you did here (people see using all caps as yelling). Changing your username to something that can't be perceived as advocating will help you in the future. At any rate, I hope you enjoy your time here and I really appreciate you contributing to this project. Thanks! OlYeller21Talktome 04:06, 3 August 2013 (UTC)
