I'm not sure that this website could be considered, in [[WP:RS|Wikipedia terms]], to be a reliable source. It just appears to be a questions and answers page and not much more than a blog of sorts. Googleing Daniel Rutter just says he is a journalist, it doesn't demonstrate that he or his site is a reliable source. There is nothing I can find on his website that attests to his technical qualifications or anything that demonstrates the site's validity under WP:RS. ---- [[User:WebHamster|<font color="#000000">'''W'''eb'''H'''amste</font><font color="#0000ff">r</font>]] 11:36, 29 September 2007 (UTC)
: This page is a very valuable reference. Yes, Wikipedia is supposed to source everything, and have no original research... but I think everything said here is correct, and I needed to know what the small screws were called (the M3 ones) and this page gave me the answer. What citations would be appropriate? If Wikipedia had a page that said "the sky is blue", would it require a citation?
: That guy also happens to have a blog - the reference is not to the blog. Incidentally, when the claim is merely what gauge of screw is holding your computer together, the bar isn't quite as high as you make it out to be. The guy holds himself to be an ''"independent reviewer of PC hardware and gadgets"'' and given the circumstances, that's plenty. [[User:Reswobslc|Reswobslc]] 14:21, 29 September 2007 (UTC)
