Some additional sources that could be useful

Lancet profile, Herald article

Google Scholar citations, Riddet Institute profile, TrueHealth initiative, Nutrition Foundation.

Hope these are useful too. Tayste (edits) 21:53, 5 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Tayste, given that you started this article, the most appropriate person who does something with these sources is you! Schwede 66 17:25, 5 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Flagging article content issues

Hello all! I'm on mobile as I write this, and the Android Wiki app loves to "eat" my open tabs and steal them away, so I'll briefly start a thread that I can return to later today.

In the process of editing some very garbled text in this article, flagged at the Teahouse by an awesome editor, I discovered that the content was added all at once without sourcing a few years back, and unintentionally "nuked" what was till then an orphaned but pretty normal-seeming wiki article.

With the way the text read, and the edit history circumstances I uncovered, I'm mildly concerned about a copy-paste situation in which the text got garbled in the process. The good news is, coming to this talk page I found one other topic exists: the suggestion of some sources to add citations to this article, from its original creator, who appears to still be active on en.wiki.

So, if someone doesn't beat me to it, once I'm at my desktop I'll ping the article's creator, probably the most informed set of eyes to lend context as to whether the weirdly constructed section that was inserted in 2021 has any place in the article at all. Whatever happens, I will try to follow the lead of those suggested sources, and find more, to get this BLP properly referenced for the modern age :-)

OK, I'm not done phone-sleuthing it seems, lol- was able to quickly confirm that the Pacific Islands Families Study which was the only concrete thing mentioned in the pasted text is, indeed, a thing, and a single reference cited at that page lists Rush as lead author:
