			##Note, this wiki entry (section 3 in particular) will hopefully enable a fellow data team member to bypass step 7, as this is the step used to acquire the WVS variable code which corresponds to the IFs series.
	#On the IFs Datadict, for the series '''WVSConfLabUnions''', the following definition is given as the extended source definition: "How much confidence do you have in Labor Unions? 1= A great deal, 2=Quite a lot , 3= not very much , 4= none at all." This is the question posed to respondents on the WVS survey and you will need it to find the corresponding WVS data for IFs.

	##For any WVS IFs series you will need to use the datadict definition mentioned above (in this case regarding labor unions).

	###As a note of caution, in this case, there are over a dozen questions with the word "union." So, use clues from the datadict and WVS variable title to find the appropriate data. In this case, the variable title is "'''Confidence: Labour Unions'''," so it is reasonable to conclude that the datadict definition of how much confidence a respondent has in labor unions corresponds to this WVS variable. There will be more than a few incongruities and traps like this. Sometimes you will need to be creative and solve some fun puzzles.		###As a note of caution, in this case, there are over a dozen questions with the word "union."
