Erictaylor202 ( talk) 16:55, 22 January 2020 (UTC) The sources are provided but a lot of them are very old and could be out of date. Some of the sources are not available anymore or do not work. For example, the second reference at popcenter.org is no longer available. reply

I have added a more recent book source published in 2017. Moonlight2006 ( talk) 01:40, 12 November 2023 (UTC) reply
