False claim of "WP:BLOGS"[edit]

I undid this edit because blogs by topic experts are allowed. Gary Ashkenazy is considered to be an expert by Dr. Helen Wang of the British Museum and his Primaltrek website is referenced in a number of academic papers and reference books on the field of Chinese numismatics. Furthermore, "Wikipedia:Identifying and using self-published works#Self-published doesn't mean a source is automatically invalid" it reads "Self-published works are sometimes acceptable as sources, so self-publication is not, and should not be, a bit of jargon used by Wikipedians to automatically dismiss a source as "bad" or "unreliable" or "unusable". While many self-published sources happen to be unreliable, the mere fact that it is self-published does not prove this. A self-published source can be independent, authoritative, high-quality, accurate, fact-checked, and expert-approved.". This website meets the inclusion criteria, just because its URL reads "blog" doesn't mean that it's as unreliable as a non-expert blog.

Also the edit had a number of other problems such as removing Traditional Chinese characters that serve as reference points for the readers and a link to an article that was planned to be written by user "Zanhe". --Donald Trung (talk) 12:52, 1 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
