Comment[edit]

Hey, just passing by when I read your comment on user talk:Deb and decided to read your draft. It looks allright, but I have one minor issue. The draft currently says: "Zelder's work has been widely cited.[1][2][3][4][5]". This is a classic example of original research. You are drawing the conclusion the work is widely cited, because you can find a lot of articles that reference it. Those five links only cite Zelder, they don't support the claim "Zelder's work has been widely cited". Instead you could say it was cited by X, Y and Z or give a number for the total number of cites (with source). Note: I did not actually check the references, so I apologize if I am mistaken about this. Yoenit (talk) 00:04, 29 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the input. I have changed the article to show the number of citations.Barkrich (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 19:21, 31 January 2011 (UTC).[reply]
