According to WP and other significant sources, The Truth About Cars is a blog. And I don't work for Porsche. You will notice that I have been attempting to trim a very flowery PR style addition by another editor, so no need for you to take it personally! Warren (talk) 16:23, 4 April 2013 (UTC)

Okay, let's say it's a blog. Here's the first sentence of WP's description of The Truth About Cars... The Truth About Cars (TTAC) is a website covering automobiles, automotive products and the auto industry. Its features include the GM and Ford “Death Watch” and Chrysler "Suicide Watch" series. The site began publishing in 2002,[1] and features a mix of automotive reviews, editorials and news. The site is home to the annual Ten Worst Automobiles awards,[2] which are nominated and selected by the readers.

It's definitely not someone's personal blog. Wouldn't that make it a creditable source even if you do call it a "blog"? According to WP's own documentation of creditable sources it is valid.

Edit warring
Your recent editing history at Abraham Lincoln shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing&mdash;especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring&mdash;even if you don't violate the three-revert rule&mdash;should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

To avoid being blocked, instead of reverting please consider using the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. See BRD for how this is done. You can post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection. Vsmith (talk) 23:42, 10 April 2013 (UTC)

Welcome
The current straw poll notwithstanding, you are off to a good start here on Wikipedia. That is to say, you've rolled up your sleeves, made a few edits, and are actively learning important lessons about how the editing and consensus building process works. This is a good thing. Give it time, keep an open mind, learn from others, and you'll do well here. Rklawton (talk) 21:34, 12 April 2013 (UTC)

Warning
Insulting editors and threatening to circumvent Wikipedia's processes will result in your account being blocked from editing if you should persist. You've done well up to now - don't blow it. Rklawton (talk) 03:02, 15 April 2013 (UTC)

If you can't take it you shouldn't dish it out. Cottonpinesap (talk) 03:36, 15 April 2013 (UTC)
