How On Earth Does One Post a Listing Without Someone Constantly Disapproving It???

I wrote and posted a much more comprehensive listing (than the previous one) for Jay Dobyns, an American federal agent and author. As a veteran retired international aircraft accident investigator who has been published in numerous magazines, I am quite familiar with the tenants of "objectivity" and "impartiality", and attempted to write the listing with those paradigms in mind. But now, I get an email from this "The Road is Long" person saying only that I "didn't provide any reliable source. It's been removed for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so!" This cryptic pronouncement is in reference to an article that comprises 36 paragraphs and almost 1,800 words! How am I supposed to know which element(s) of the article this guy (or gal) has an issue with? If you're going to disallow something, could you at least provide a small clue as to what it is that you have a problem with?
