I'm not comfortable using the BGSU page as a primary citation as I am the one who wrote it and I helped create this page, but if others are okay with it that's fine. Sammidown (talk) 14:09, 10 January 2020 (UTC)Reply

oh wow, hi! Yeah, I came across it while looking for sources. I'm going to look back at what I added and see if I can find another source, but it seems to meet criteria 2600:1702:33F0:24A0:D015:DFA4:17B:68EF (talk) 18:45, 10 January 2020 (UTC)Reply
While it's good to disclose, I think that BGSU qualifies as intellectually independent _of the subject_. It's a valid and worthwhile source for this article. Also, it is completely ok to use print sources--so for example perhaps there's a monograph on the collection which exists only in print etc. If I had time to go through this article I'd probably focus on removing things that aren't directly relevant and perhaps removing some of the adjectives. I think it's well written but many Wikipedians will prefer it to be more focused and less narrative in structure.

Re: Castle/Krentz -- good catch. I misinterpreted her bio. It said it was the first sold but shouldn't have interpreted it to mean published 2600:1702:33F0:24A0:D015:DFA4:17B:68EF (talk) 19:06, 10 January 2020 (UTC)Reply

Looking deeper, it looks like that first publisher (McFadden) may have misrepresented the date? Either way, it seems muddy enough that we should keep it simple.Sammidown (talk) 20:15, 10 January 2020 (UTC)Reply
