third party blogs, and "publishers & writers" are also acceptable. Pohick2 (talk) 20:01, 30 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Third party blogs are rarely excepted as reliable sources, unless they are editorially controlled by an entity traditionally consider a reliable source (WP:RS#Self-published and questionable sources)- however you can make a case by case argument as to why a specific one may apply in a given situation. What I removed in my last edit were links that you had embedded directly in to the article, which does not conform to WP:MOS#Links orWP:ELPOINTS, specifically "External links should not normally be used in the body of an article. Instead, include appropriate external links in an "External links" section at the end of the article". You also restored the link to google books, which is unnecessary as the ISBN number is already included to allow for verification. Jezebel'sPonyoshhh20:58, 30 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
