"Goodbye to Footcloth" Reference
editRef. #3 to "O'Flynn, Kevin (December 19, 2007). 'Goodbye to the Footcloth, Hello to the Sock'" does not point to Moscow Times. Is this a valid reference?

BBC-TV

Yep. I served in 2010-2011. We got socks at arrival point, but further we were using only footwraps. Fedorkov Dmitry (talk) 21:39, 1 November 2012 (UTC)
- That would be useful information, but we'd need a reliable published source for this, see WP:V. People's own experience is not admissible as a basis for Wikipedia article, because other people can't verify it, see WP:NOR. Sandstein 22:03, 1 November 2012 (UTC)
