Allan Holtz edit

While the comics historian Allan Holtz reprints what appears to be a newspaper article about Marsh at http://strippersguide.blogspot.com/2007/09/news-of-yore-marketing-blitz-of-self.html, the periodical is not named and there is no indication of whether this is a newspaper or magazine or even newsletter article. Until that can be reliably ascertained, we can't cite this. --Tenebrae (talk) 22:05, 20 May 2018 (UTC)Reply

Gravestone edit

On findagrave.com you can see the gravestone of Norman Marsh. I know you don't trust findagrave because it's a wiki, but what of an actual photo of the gravestone? It looks legit. Kurzon (talk) 12:12, 21 May 2018 (UTC)Reply

It's honestly not a matter of me personally not trusting it. It's Wikipedia not trusting it. See WP:FINDAGRAVE-EL which states Find-a-Grave can rarely be used as an External link and almost never (boldface as on that page) as a footnoted reference citation, which is why I've removed it. Additionally, WP:FINDAGRAVE notes: "The Find a Grave dates may be wrong by a year or two." --Tenebrae (talk) 20:20, 22 May 2018 (UTC)Reply
