Source question

The source is The Oregonian, which easily passes as a WP:RS. The link is a convenience link only. Further, everything of substance it gave was confirmed by the other sources, it just had some dates whereas some of the other sources did not. Aboutmovies (talk) 21:32, 9 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
