Montvale reference? edit
Hi, Adrian. Thanks for your update to the Itanium article.
I modified the article to put the two older references back in, since they were sources for the prior sentence. One of them was also syntactically a "named" reference, which means it was used later in the article by reference to the name.
I left your reference to the Chiplist and updated the author name field in the reference. I assume that the fact that the author's last name matches yours is not a co-incidence. I looked through the site: it's impressive. Thanks. However, it appears to be a one-person blog. That means that by Wikipedia's narrow definition, it's not a "reliable source." Note that I left it in anyway (my personal value judgement.) If possible, you should probably cite a "better" source.
As an alternative, If The Chiplist is itself notable, (i.e., if there are at least two articles about it in "mainstream" publications,) then I can write a Wikipedia article about it, and then add "according to The Chiplist" to the week 44 item. (Note: you should not create such an article due to WP:COI, but I could create the article.) In any event we will remove the entire "Montvale" section when the chip is officially released and incorporate anything interesting in the rest of the article. Thanks again! -Arch dude 23:26, 19 September 2007 (UTC)
