False hits

The article Trafford Publishing legitimately discusses AuthorHouse, Xlibris and iUniverse as Trafford Publishing is itself a self-publisher, and the discussion is regarding market share amongst self-publishers and acquisitions. Maybe need to think about the false positives? Fifelfoo (talk) 07:12, 11 June 2012 (UTC)Reply

Yes, that is right. And there are other problems with Aventine Press due to the search engine. So we have to figure out how to deal with those. Probably need a statement upfront. I will add that. Thanks. History2007 (talk) 07:15, 11 June 2012 (UTC)Reply

Over the yump?

IDK if it's been encountered yet, so let me raise one. Rallying uses the self-published Marathon de la Route 1931/1971 & Le Rallye Monte-Carlo au XXe Siècle as sources. (No publisher given, just the author's name.) They don't appear to be main sources, but they are being used several times on the page (& perhaps on other pages I haven't seen). Is it known yet if they are reliable? Should they come up, let me consider this a request it be addressed; I won't be watchlisting this page for an answer.
