PS: Thanks for contributing to Wikipedia. However please note that not all sources are considered to be sufficiently relaible for use in the encyclopedia, especially for articles about living people. A key disqualification for sources is being self-published. I've reverted two of your recent edits tbecause they violated this important principle. If you can find the same assertions in more reliable sources then they'd be fine to add. For more information, see WP:BLP and WP:RS. Will Beback talk 21:13, 18 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your note. Sorry if the matter wasn't obvious. I was referefing to this edit of Ted Patrick and this edit of Galen Kelly. The book and website you are using as sources are "self-published", meaning they have not gone through an editorial review process. We can use sources like that for statements about the authors but not about other people. Let me know if you have any other questions of need any help.
