- The information in the hook is cited to a blogspot blog, which admittedly does appear to be authored by Renee Parsons an industry insider, however I'm not convinced it qualifies as a reliable source. jorgenev 20:07, 24 August 2011 (UTC)
The hook is cited to a blog same with another part of the article. The Blogspot link needs to be removed and the facts that use it as a source should have new sources. Joe Chill (talk) 01:32, 25 August 2011 (UTC)
- I referenced another source to support the hook and instances where the "blog" was the sole source. I have left the "blog" source because, according to Wikipedia:Identifying reliable sources, "Self-published material may be acceptable when produced by an established expert on the topic of the article whose work in the relevant field has previously been published by reliable third-party publications."
