Self-published books

We very rarely mention self-published books in articles. If it has been picked up and discussed by mainstream sources that meet WP:RS then we might. See WP:UNDUE You should have started a new section heading at the bottom, by the way. Dougweller (talk) 19:39, 18 August 2014 (UTC)

Thank you for the info. Thank you to whoever edited the Alternative Locations section to include Pergamum in the list. As a newcomer I was hestitant to edit an existing line which is why I simply wrote a separate sentence. Scottmatthewmcdonough (talk) 15:18, 19 August 2014 (UTC)
