Thanks. I'll see what I can use to expand the article. Dincher (talk) 19:28, 16 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I used some more info, will keep it handy for possible expansion. Dincher (talk) 19:43, 16 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I was wondering if the new book external link would be better as a ref (add a sentence on the book after the documentary sentence)? Ruhrfisch _><>°^° 03:20, 17 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I can't access the link to the book from work. Will look at it later. Might even buy the book. Dincher (talk) 22:29, 17 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It looks like an interesting book, but I am not sure the web page for it meets WP:EL. I do think it would work as a ref, but want to hear what you or anyone else thinks, Ruhrfisch _><>°^° 03:35, 18 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
