• Blind John Davis ( history · last edit) from http://www.cascadeblues.org/History/BlindJohnDavis.htm. Original stub seems to be a cut and paste from copyrighted article. Infobox is OK, but nothing else looks clean. Chuckiesdad/ Talk/ Contribs 06:46, 31 January 2010 (UTC) reply

• No question of current content. There's been no response from User:F Abd or from my e-mail to the University. Rewritten, since material is not verified. Cclean at article's talk. The other account is two years moribund. -- Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 18:33, 8 February 2010 (UTC) reply
