Personal blogs are inappropriate sources[edit]

This statement: "some people objected to the NHS passing on such data to third parties without explicit consent, and also had concerns about the data security in such a large project" was sourced to a public discussion on an online forum (obviously the wrong sort of source for Wikipedia) and to a personal blog. Glyn Moody is someone I respect and usually agree with, but personal blogs like his do not count as reliable sources for claims made in an article. I want to be clear about why I'm doing this, but I'm removing both those sources. If there are reliable sources that back up the statement, they should be included, but we can't mention every opinion just because someone says it online.

Your doing this was entirely appropriate. Blue Rasberry (talk) 15:58, 15 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Smart Watch impact?[edit]

I am one of the half a million participants.! I was wondering if there was much public discussion over the types of contextual data that was collected? Also does anyone know of work on the relation of smartphone/ smart watch (such as the upcoming Apple watch) health apps and inputing on this scale? Szczels (talk) 13:10, 16 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
