Original research
I removed the link to your blog from Scooter's article. It is very obviously original research, and therefore not appropriate as an external link, or as a reliable source in an article. For it to be usable in any form, it would have to be referenced by a reliable secondary source, such as a newpaper article mentioning it. Then you could cite the secondary source, and also cite the blog as a primary source referenced by the secondary. But on its own, it cannot be used as a source or link on Wikipedia. - Crockspot 18:46, 11 March 2007 (UTC)


 * You were obviously not careful in forming the judgment. First, it is not a blog. It is very clearly a data repository. Second, if you had looked carefully, you would have seen that it features material that is published and referenced. It is too bad you were not more careful. Third, so far as I know, the Jurist site at the University of Pittsburgh (the first return when you type "presidential pardons" in Google), USA Today, The Hill and Congressional Quarterly (just to name a few) are all "reliable secondary sources" and have all referenced the repository. I will attempt to meet your indirect and counterintuitive interepretations of what is appropriate, but with little effort and very low expectations. I know the routine well here.PSRuckman 04:50, 11 April 2007 (UTC)
