Talk:Jeff Ragsdale

Twitter as a RS
I've removed the tweet because I'm kind of worried about this article coming across as too overly promotional. The tweet didn't exactly say that Ragsdale created a new art form. He said that he's an example of a new art form. The phrasing is so loose that it could be construed as original research to say that this is "a new art form" as quoted by Ellis. There is also the issue over tweets not really being usable as reliable sources unless you have other sources to back it up and show that it's anything other than a brief mention by an author on twitter. There's a reason why twitter is almost never used as a source without multiple independent articles to back it up. There is already enough about the book's reception in the articles about the book and Ragsdale. We really need to avoid this being nothing but a love fest for Ragsdale, because at times this really comes across as being overly promotional and an advertisement for him. I also removed the Amazon Top 100 thing, as I'm not really finding any sources that are reporting that this is really an astoundingly noteworthy thing. I'm not trying to say that it's easy to sell a lot of books, just that it's not exactly like reaching the top of the NYT bestselling lists or the USA Today lists. Also considering that some of the lists get uber specific, the accomplishment of being a top anything on Amazon isn't as big of a thing in the publishing world as you'd think.
