Birthdates and blog citings.

First - I do not mean to be a witch here. But as for your recent CSI edits 1.)Blogs, as of now, are not reliable citations on Wikipedia. And 2.) Everything requires citation as far as I can ascertain from Wikipedia rules. I realize CBS puts things up and takes them back down, but if there is no citation...then it really shouldn't be there. Perhaps CBS figured out they were contradicting themselves (as they did in Catherine's case where is was shown she was 16 when Jaws came out) and removed all birthdate references. I'm willing to ask an admin about this, and go with what they say. If they agree it's alright to use blogs and now non-existant webpages for citation, I will leave everything alone. Fair enough? But without the citations, it opens up all of Wikipedia for opinions and fan fiction and is no longer an encyclopaedia with reliable information. I hope you can see my point - and that is why I am speaking to you here instead of making the changes first. You have done very good work in the past and I am sure you will do so in the future when we are lucky enough for you to be here (I do indeed understand your feelings about "overadministration").
