No. Reference for hook comes from a blog (ref2). Is there any other biography articles that supports that claim? Also wandering in Texas isn't mentioned anywhere in the article. Lajbi Holla @ me • CP 22:15, 27 October 2012 (UTC)
- It's the "blog" of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, the major Atlanta area newspaper. This is a perfectly reliable source. He did return to work in Texas during his wandering, but I'm fine striking it from the hook. – Muboshgu (talk) 21:44, 28 October 2012 (UTC)
- I'm aware it's a blog of a big newspaper but there are reasons they included this entry in their blog area and not on the main page of their online edition. That is why blogs are distinguished here. Every online newspaper runs a blog section but those are reserved for "blog purposes". As Wikipedia:BLOGS says "Some sources may be considered reliable for statements as to their author's opinion, but not for statements of fact. A prime example of this are Op-ed columns that are published in mainstream newspapers. When discussing what is said in such sources, it is important to directly attribute the material to its author, and to do so in the main text of the Wikipedia article so readers know that we are discussing someone's opinion."
- Although it also claims "Note that otherwise reliable news sources--for example, the website of a major news organization--that happens to publish in a "blog" style format for some or all of it's content may be considered to be equally reliable as if it were published in a more 'traditional' 20th-century format of a classic news story. However, the distinction between 'opinion pieces' and news should be considered carefully."
- So it's not a major newspaper - accepted by default situation; but this time it looks like a valid interview so I tend to give it a green light but the reason I put up the quote of Wiki guideline here is for other editors to contradict me if they feel like.
All other requirement are met, Texas can stay if we consider the brothers' Dallas-job a part of "wandering". Lajbi Holla @ me • CP 22:13, 28 October 2012 (UTC)
- Comment from promoter: Since the "blog" author is listed in his "about" section as "Braves beat writer for the Atlanta Journal-Constitution" since 2002, any article or blog entry he writes on the site seems to me as carrying the imprimatur of the paper in terms of it being a reliable source, especially when reporting on facts, as in this feature story, even if it's called a blog entry.
