Thanks for the clarification. A couple of points.

Verifiability explicitly precludes self published material being used as a "third party source". "Self-published sources should never be used as third-party sources about living persons, even if the author is a well-known professional researcher or writer; see WP:BLP#Reliable_sources."

While I concurr that the articles I linked to are self-published (and how could they be otherwise?) they are not "third party", they are Seanie's own work and other examples of such have been quoted elsewhere in this article without any objection from yourself.

Further Wikipedia libel states: "The goal of Wikipedia is to create an encyclopedic information source adhering to a neutral point-of-view style of prose, with all information being referenced through the citation of reliable published sources, so as to maintain a standard of verifiability."

The material you deleted is NPOV, with all information referenced on reliable published sources (or rather on Seanie's own mag).

Finally I don't see how either of your contentions has any bearing on the picture which you also however reverted.
