I feel I have exhausted all of my avenues of information for this article (to include Scott Air Force Base resources). Anything else I might pursue to input into the article would inevitably be WP:OR. I'm not experienced whatsoever in writing biographical articles and request peer review to get input from those who have the experience I lack. — pd_THOR ^{| =/\=} | 17:16, 31 August 2006 (UTC) reply

Intrigued by other avenues for sources you mention. Primary sources are allowed as long as they meet WP:V -- plange 02:19, 9 September 2006 (UTC) reply

I'm stationed on Scott AFB, and my impending move here prompted the creation of the article. I utilized all the sources that were available online, as well as any publicized sources I could find on base (which only duplicated the online-available information). I've given thought to visiting the base history office to see if I could glean more information — but if it's not publicized in anything official, or something that couldn't later be referenced by somebody who doesn't have access to military sources, can it be used? Not that I know there is more information to be had, just the possibility. — pd_THOR ^{| =/\=} | 04:56, 10 September 2006 (UTC) reply

Definitely worth asking over at WP:V -- I think as long as someone can access them physically, i.e., they can go there and see the documents, it's useable. I know I've used primary sources that can only be viewed if someone goes to Duke University's special archives. -- plange 19:51, 10 September 2006 (UTC) reply

What about archived news sources that are pay for only? I've found that Google news is capable of searching such archives [1], but you have to pay to access the articles. I'm willing to do this (I see it as a boon for researching tons of articles, too), but somebody would have to pay to verify the sourcing. — pd_THOR ^{| =/\=} | 21:54, 14 September 2006 (UTC) reply

Hmm, good question -- I don't feel comfortable enough to answer that myself, so I'd pose that on the talk page for WP:V -- plange 21:56, 14 September 2006 (UTC) reply

The best bet imho for paid news services are those which are online archives of newspapers (you get the newspaper, the date, the page number). That's enough. I don't know what services there are in the US but I've used one called ProQuest in the UK to help with sourcing for articles relating to The KLF. -- kingboyk 22:19, 14 September 2006 (UTC) PS Why is this section called Plange? Are we peer reviewing her?! ;) reply

LOL! No, but I was the one who reviewed his article. Instructions say to add your name as a subheading, so... -- plange 22:23, 14 September 2006 (UTC) reply
