I am the original author of the page; however, I am uncertain as to how I should cite my sources. I know Peter Willcox personally, and have acquired the desired data from him by word of mouth. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Venter (talkcontribs)

: Actually, you probably shouldn't have mentioned. Primary sources aren't very favored on Wikipedia, and the fact that you say you know him personally discloses a potential Conflict of Interest. It is much better to find articles or books elsewhere that publish the information as secondary sources - if a secondary source is willing to publish it, then it will most likely meet the WP notability guideline. Thanks for editing though, please keep at it! Psu256 (talk) 01:17, 26 February 2011 (UTC)
