Flagging items for references

Hi there! I saw your edit to African Pygmies. FYI, if you want to flag something as needing a citation (and I agree this needs one), what you need to do is to add the text of {{cn}} to the statements that need references. That marks them as officially flagged and searchable. If you just use plain text such as what you did, only people who are carefully reading the actual text will see that someone has challenged the point. If you have any questions about this or other aspects of Wikipedia, don't hesitate to reach out to me or check out our help desk. Matt Deres (talk) 01:50, 3 January 2021 (UTC)
