Line 31:
* In the edit that I add that, I also add a single source, located in the Sources section. You can view the entire edit [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Reticulated_Python&diff=20268039&oldid=18256747 here]. Given that I actually do cite a source, I think it should go back.

I would prefer something more easily checked than just a single book that I don't have access to. Or failing that, how about a compromise where you actually quote a brief section of the book in question word for word? What I'd like to convey is that snakes eating people is by and large fiction, and not have the public walk away with the impression that large snakes regularly, or even rarely, eat people.
If you track down one source in a book where they found an uncorroborated report in the 1800s where someone was supposedly eaten, I don't think that should be included. As I don't have access to the book in question, or know what exactly it says I have no way of knowing whether or not it's reliable, and given all other articles I've read about it previously, I'm much more inclined to believe it to be unreliable and / or verifiable.[[User:69.92.141.242|69.92.141.242]] 03:48, 23 August 2005 (UTC)
