Recent articles about Gainesville Eight reunion event in August 2023
These are three FreeGNV blog articles by a former Gainesville Sun journalist who summarized an August 2023 reunion of the Gainesville Eight in images and text:
 * Cunningham, Ron (August 27, 2023). "Visual reflections on the Gainesville 8". FreeGNV blog. Photos and text discussing August 2023 Gainesville Eight reunion. Retrieved September 3, 2023.
 * Cunningham, Ron (August 25, 2023). "The two feds in the broom closet". FreeGNV blog. Brief historical retrospective essay about a Gainesville Eight memory. Retrieved September 3, 2023.
 * Cunningham, Ron (August 25, 2023). "What difference a half century?". FreeGNV blog. Photos and text discussing August 2023 Gainesville Eight reunion. Retrieved September 3, 2023.

I placed these in the Talk page for now because I was unsure about current rules related to blogs as Wikipedia evolves. Emerman (talk) 02:19, 4 September 2023 (UTC)


 * While Cunningham probably qualifies as an established subject-matter expert, the provision at Biographies of living persons against using a blog as a source about living persons would block use of the above blog posts, in my opinion. The Sun did cover the reunion, although I will admit I didn't read that coverage. Donald Albury 12:46, 4 September 2023 (UTC)
 * Some blogs are actually journalistic websites with various writers, but as you mention, this one is not; it is a self-published personal blog, so I guess it goes under that category you referenced. I thought that putting these three items in here would help inform anyone interested in the info in the links, but I did not place them into the article. I've never actually placed links of interest into a Talk page before this, but it doesn't seem a bad idea as long as I don't put it into the article page (aside from if someone decides something in a talk page should be incorporated into an article, which is not likely to be the case here). Thanks for looking at it.
 * By the way, I did not realize the Sun covered the reunion, so I will look for that. I had stumbled on the blog items. I will add to the article links to some national coverage of the original historical event soon, rather than this blog item. Emerman (talk) 22:06, 4 September 2023 (UTC)
 * Here's the link to the Sun item. It is by Ron Cunningham as a correspondent to the Sun. I don't know if you will be able to see it (I am subscribed to the digital paper). Donald Albury 00:32, 5 September 2023 (UTC)
