Reliable sources
In you among other things add the bare URL http://www.hubbawheels.com/?paged=99 to reference that "before a split with the brand and receiving his next signature skateboard with City Skateboards in 2009." The video in the above URL has apparently nothing to do with Strain, it's 1m23s with a young woman trashing beer cans and soaking her indisputable high-quality upper assets with the the erupting liquid. Sources should directly support the information as it is presented in the Wikipedia article. Should we try to keep it real, yo? Wikipedia real! Best, Sam Sailor Sing 11:32, 20 March 2014 (UTC)


 * On the Sources page there is on the right side news stories archived and the bottom story seen on that page is dated December 3rd 2009 showing Donovan's City skateboards ad and adds "ButteryAss Donovan has a new City ad and limited edition deck out right now. Peep game." User:Catpiccatpic 11:55, 20 March 2014 (UTC)


 * That hardly qualifies as a reliable source for the statement. It's WP:SYNTH. Do you have a connection to the article subject that you wish to disclose? On another note: you write that Strain's influences are Jerry Seinfeld and Chris Rock. What's the source? Sam Sailor Sing 12:06, 20 March 2014 (UTC)


 * Ah I see, Im obviously new to this and am learning as I go but still trying my best to find as many reliable sources as I can. I thought the news reported by Hubba Wheels would have been reliable since they were the sister company to City Skateboards but I will keep looking. And yes Donovan is my older brother. He built his following from professional skateboarding, online video series and stand-up comedy and I thought I would try to figure out how to help get a Wiki started as any little sister would do. Thank you for all of your help and notes, I am paying attention to your edits and trying to find as many sources as possible. User:Catpiccatpic 12:26, 20 March 2014 (UTC)
