Hi John, Please read WP:FANSITE and WP:USERGENERATED for reasons why links to forums, fan sites, and user generated content are avoided on Wikipedia. If you have published anything which has had the oversight of an editor, such as a magazine, newspaper, or journal, then it would likely meet the reliable sources criteria. I'm sure you have access to many books and magazines about Pierre Terblanche which meet WP:RS -- you should cite those directly, rather than cite yourself on a user-generated web site. Please ask if you have any questions. --Dennis Bratland (talk) 17:35, 7 March 2012 (UTC)
