   I'm holding the article pending the questions I have above. Imzadi1979 (talk) 06:28, 30 October 2008 (UTC)

The image has been fixed. Regarding source 18. I'm struggling with this. I was hoping you would let is slide =-). It is not a Self Published Source. I've seen articles from at least 5 different authors on this site, and the author of this article does not match the name on the publisher. However the credentials of the publisher are not clear, and this may be a personal website. Although if it is, it's a dang thorough one. This site is done in a similar style to a website I found for a museum in the Owens Valley. I'm trying to find out if this is an extension of that website. I'll advise. I would like to keep this as a source if nothing else due to the thoroughness of the information. Worst case, I'll find another source and move this to external links.

OK found a reliable source, that was not a detailed, but covered similar material. I had to re-word portions of the paragraph to keep in line with the source.Dave (talk) 06:13, 31 October 2008 (UTC)

Looks good. Sorry I'm a little belated on this, but passing. Imzadi1979 (talk) 03:17, 2 November 2008 (UTC)
