Sourcing
Hi, thanks for adding a reference to the wind and Mount Washington (New Hampshire) articles. Whenever possible, try to avoid citing sources that cite other sources, and use the original source instead. News-aggregation services such as Yahoo are "secondary sources" because they only re-publish content from other places. Yahoo doesn't maintain articles indefinitely, so the Yahoo link you added will soon go dead.

The Yahoo article is actually a reprint of an Associated Press article, so you could go to www.associatedpress.com and get a link directly to that artcle. AP is a good place to cite because they maintain an archive of articles indefinitely. However, even the Associated Press refers to an original source, the World Meteorological Association, so it's still better to trace back to the original:

I have changed your citation accordingly.

Also, you may want to refer to Citation templates for easy-to-use templates that result in consistently-styled citations in articles. Thanks. ~Amatulić (talk) 23:54, 26 January 2010 (UTC)
