Note on sources

I removed this reference because it was not relevant to the text it supposedly verifies. The article is about gun violence, merely published by the Berkley Media Studies Group, not about it. What this article needs in order to have a hope of expansion, per WP:V, WP:NPOV, and WP:GNG, is a variety of reliable secondary sources that discuss the group in depth, not rely on pieces written by the director or a passing mention in an article on a different subject. --Animalparty-- (talk) 20:22, 28 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for compiling those, Lightbreather. While many seem to be brief quotes from the organization or mentions of its studies, rather than articles about the organization, I hope there is enough material to assemble a neutral and balanced article on the organization itself. --Animalparty-- (talk) 22:40, 29 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
