Happy editing! Waddie96 (talk) 17:45, 24 March 2018 (UTC)

Sheboygan, Wisconsin dead horse picture
Dude, really? First of all, you have reverted to an unsourced date. A date that does not fall within the date range in the title of the Commons image, but also apparently disagrees with the date range in the CNN source those figures were taken from. It is a breach of WP:V to restore material without providing a source. At least my version does have a source. Secondly, there is no blanket ban on using blogs, or any other self-published source. Most self-published sources are not reliable but some are. WP:UGC says "Self-published material may sometimes be acceptable when its author is an established expert whose work in the relevant field has been published by reliable third-party publications." Colleen M. Fitzpatrick is undoubtedly an established expert in forensic genealogy. Just read her article and her own bio. As for previously published, she has many publications in the field in reliable sources, but note in particular that the original dead horse investigation is found in this book published by the Rice University Press. Note the picture on the book cover, it might look familiar to you. SpinningSpark 19:54, 24 March 2018 (UTC)
