USgennet.org reference

This is a nicely-written article, and generally well-referenced. However I am a little concerned about the reliability of this source: the newspaper name is unknown, and the website appears to be WP:USERGENERATED. I have tagged it with {{verify credibility}}.

AFAICS, the reference is not critical to the article. Alternative refs may be found for the points cited, or they may be discarded without losing much of the article. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 08:01, 12 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

It also needs a lot more editing, especially commas added. Thomas R. Fasulo (talk) 00:43, 21 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
