Hi there. In case you didn't know, when you add content to
talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should
sign your posts by typing four
tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. On many keyboards, the tilde is entered by holding the
Shift key, and pressing the key with the tilde pictured. You may also click on the signature button
located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you! --

Thanks for inquiring. Normally, that would be a good citation, but not in this case, because you are comparing two things to draw a conclusion that they are connected. The policy that covers this is a facet of the original research policy called synthesis. What you need is a citation from a reliable source comparing the two. That there isn't something like that easily found is one of the more frustrating parts of Wikipedia - if you cannot cite it, you cannot include it. I hope that answers your question. If I can help you with another question while you are learning, just create a new section on my User Talk page and ask. :) - Arcayne (cast a spell) 19:54, 16 December 2007 (UTC)
