How reliable is 20/20 as a medical source? I can find no published papers on Stoccareddo or the alternative spelling Stocarè in Medline. Uros Hladnik, cited in the Independent as one of the geneticists working on the data, has only one paper listed on Medline (PMID 12141527) which does not relate to Stoccareddo. The Independent article gives few details and is likely to originate in the travel section of their magazine, not their medical coverage; the ABC news site appears to be down. Are there other sources, perhaps in Italian? Espresso Addict (talk) 15:02, 20 March 2008 (UTC)Reply

20/20 is not a medical source: it's an independent third-party media source with a reputation for fact checking. That meets the requirements of WP:RS. WhatamIdoing (talk) 19:12, 20 March 2008 (UTC)Reply

Also, Stoccareddo's official website called Stoccareddo "Stocarè". –The Obento Musubi 23:19, 20 March 2008 (UTC)Reply
