References, citing books verses websites

Many of the book that have been written about Ed Ricketts claim to be definitive. I am sure they may well be, however I know mistakes have been made as to dates and some names. I don't think there is anything wrong with citing from books but if a single books information says one thing and several websites say something else. I would go with the websites if they repeat the same information.--Amadscientist 11:21, 10 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It's the other way around. We always go with the most recent, printed books, not websites. However, if you are concerned about the 1928 date, find more information about it on other sites to resolve the problem. I think that Tamm is saying that the move wasn't finalized until around 1930, whereas the other sources are implying the move started around 1928. See what you can find. —Viriditas | Talk 11:33, 10 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

OK, I got it. I will be looking at my public library and at the Monterey Museum of Maritime History with a historian there in the next week and will work out the exact details.--Amadscientist 11:38, 10 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Most of the good stuff is archived in the California History Room of the Monterey Public Library. Print this out and bring it to the librarian. It's what you need to access the Edward F. Ricketts archives. Also ask to see the corporate records for Pacific Biological Laboratories, Inc. You will need to make an appointment to access this information. If you can get over there, you will be well rewarded. Good luck.—Viriditas | Talk 12:24, 10 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
