Some Possible sources

~~[1]~~, ~~[2]~~, ~~[3]~~ (good for a "Types" section), [4] (not sure what this one is exactly), [5], ~~[6]~~, ~~[7]~~, [8], ~~[9]~~ (possible EL? not a source to be sure), [10]

Regardless, information here is sparse and a decent article (say DYK quality) will probably take 12-15 sources, just my best guess. These results are a perusing of Google Books and up through the 31st page of regular Google web hits, if you want to search for more start at page 32 of the Google hits. --IvoShandor (talk) 15:33, 21 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I have struck through those links that I have used in some way, there may still be minimal info to cull from those links that have been struck through. --IvoShandor (talk) 05:10, 22 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
