Flowanda, please try to be more careful with your edits. Old Money New South is not a self-published book, which is explained on the book's website. Also, if you're going to remove a citation, there may be reason to consider removing the content which required the citation. It's best to bring it up on the article's talk page.

As you know, the book's website alone is not independent verification of its own authenticity, and the only publisher listed/uncovered with additional research is the author and an organization listed in his name. Regardless, I removed the link because there was no connection between the book and this article; the link you added back contains content with no reference to this article or person.
The other link was removed because it also did not meet the external link guideliness that limit links to only those blogs/personal websites considered authoritative. Although listed as a "collection of essays criticial of the mayor", the web page consisted of entries and comments structured in a blog format by date using blogging software on a website of blogs that included "blogs" in its URL. The blog's writer is unidentified. Whether a blog or personal page, this website doesn't meet the wiki external link guidelines, so I removed the link, noting why in my edits.
I can post all the references I used for these edits, of course, or discuss the edits I've made elsewhere based on wiki sources I used as reference. Flowanda 03:51, 16 April 2007 (UTC)
Ron Littlefield edits Would you review a page you made edits to a few weeks ago? I'd like feedback on Ron_Littlefield before I post info to the article's talk page as requested by Qmax on my talk page. My understanding of 3RR was that unsourced, unreliable info could be immediately removed without discussion, so I feel a bit hesitant about making edits without clarity that the two external websites on this page do not meet the wp:el guidelines. The link to "worst mayor ever" has been removed twice, but has been added back in and the description changed to “a collection of essays” by an editor who is part owner of the company that hosts this blog and who has referenced the blog several times on his own personal blog. The external book link makes no connection to the article’s subject and violates [WP:EL] policies as a self-published book WP:SPS. The book’s publisher is a non-profit registered by the author and there are no independent academic reviews, only references listed on the editor’s company blogs and on wikipedia articles. I do live in Chattanooga and am a writer, but I have no bias or conflict of interest per WP:COIother than finding the blog funny at times and re-worded descriptions red flags. Thanks.

An external link to a non-notable, anonymous blog has been removed per Wikipedia policy related to biographies of living persons. The policy is clear: "Material from self-published books, zines, websites, and blogs should never be used as a source about a living person, unless written or published by the subject of the article." Content that does not meet policy related to neutrality, verifiability or no original research are to be "removed immediately without discussion." If the link has been re-added, then check the article history for a list of editors and their edits to this article. Flowanda | Talk 04:54, 29 August 2007 (UTC)

Hello fellow Wikipedians,
I have just added archive links to one external link on
Ron Littlefield. Please take a moment to review
my edit. If necessary, add {{
