Prunus virginiana
Hi Tmgodbout, I saw your item in Prunus virginiana. The info may be good, but using blogs as refs is unreliable and are always removed. Can you find a more reliable ref, from a textbook or university page? I left your info in for now, but removed the unreliable ref. Thanks, Hamamelis (talk) 12:04, 10 May 2011 (UTC)


 * Hi again. Once more, Wikipedia does not accept blogs as references. It was again removed. Thanks, Hamamelis (talk) 13:55, 10 May 2011 (UTC)

Okay - sorry - I didn't see this message. Its also listed as wine products at wine-compass.com (http://www.wine-compass.com/DesktopDefault.aspx?tabindex=10&tabid=6&companyid=ba4f0d0a-c63a-4195-8fc0-67e08100e10c and http://www.wine-compass.com/DesktopDefault.aspx?tabindex=10&tabid=6&companyid=762a1083-fb08-4c33-b105-209b5e60ef34) Should I just source to wine-compass.com?


 * No problem. Let me take a look at those sites, you could possibly use them. Its always better as a general rule of thumb to stick to academic or government sources; comercial sites are often not reliable because of conflict of interest issues. Thanks for responding.

 * Well, after viewing those links you suggested, as nice as they are, they wouldn't work for reliable refs. There's a guide somewhere on WP for what are considered reliable references. I will look for it and post back here. Thanks, Hamamelis (talk) 14:13, 10 May 2011 (UTC)
