Lugar Center[edit]

Hi, I've noticed that you're copy-pasting new Lugar Center ratings to Wikipedia pages. I don't mind the ratings, but I mind the length of the text and the puffery. For example, instead of adding:

A moderate Republican, Heller was ranked as the 5th most bipartisan member of the U.S. Senate during the first session of the 115th United States Congress by the Bipartisan Index, a metric created by The Lugar Center and Georgetown's McCourt School of Public Policy to better gauge Congressional bipartisanship.

You should add:

Heller was ranked as the 5th most bipartisan member of the U.S. Senate during the first session of the 115th United States Congress by The Lugar Center and Georgetown University’s McCourt School. Snooganssnoogans (talk) 15:46, 2 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the advice, I have to remember from time to time to adjust my natural writing style to reflect the encyclopedic medium.
