Excellent article on the topic: http://stargazermercantile.com/2015/06/15/pit-ponies-working-in-a-coal-mine/. Montanabw^(talk) 22:02, 28 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

It is an interesting and well-written article. We can't use it as a source because it is self-published, see Identifying and using self-published works. Verbcatcher (talk) 23:07, 28 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

We don't have a wholesale ban on self-published works, though they are strongly discouraged. ("self-published works are acceptable in Wikipedia so long as certain conditions are met.") However, in this case, it is a good guide by which to find more sourceable content and it also is a good fact-checking backup. Montanabw^(talk) 05:33, 19 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
