Sources edit
Tom, Unfortunately the two sources added might hurt your case more than help. The first is a blog, and blogs are not considered reliable sources since anyone can write anything they want, and there is no editorial or publishing control (some blogs are ok that have editorial control or well known writers). The second from PR web is a press release and that too is is considered unreliable, since obviously it's a press release written by the subject of the article. Sources should be from places like books, newspapers and magazines written by a journalist about the subject. -- Green Cardamom (talk) 17:08, 29 August 2013 (UTC)
