Please get over yourself
An advertising blurb for book written by and about someone other than Mark Mirabello after 1992 does not immediately relate to the sentence "The Odin Brotherhood was first described in print in a 1992 book by Mark Mirabello."

If there is a specific page in the Jack Wolf book stating that Mirabello's work was the first, then you should have cited that page instead of sneaking an advertising blurb into the reference, and you should have cited it after "in a 1992 book by Mark Mirabello" instead of after "first described in print." Putting it after "first described in print" without any specific pages nor any mention of Mirabello in the footnote makes it look like you're trying to claim that the 2013 book pre-dates a 1992 book. If that's not what you meant, it was as clear as mud. If you were somehow trying to say that the Wolf book supports other claims in the Mirabello book, you need to summarize those mutual claims without going beyond either source -- but that'd belong in a different part of the article.

References and content have a two-way relationship. One cannot just stick a reference in just to stick a reference in. You can't just stick it in to say "here's another book," either. Ian.thomson (talk) 01:51, 18 March 2017 (UTC)
