senseless sentence

In the section of Legal Issues, the following sentence makes no sense: Lifeson acknowledged his subsequent legal action against both the Ritz-Carlton and the Collier County Sheriff's Office for "their incredibly discourteous, arrogant and aggressive behaviour of which I had never experienced in 30 years of travel".[1]

I'd try to rewrite it myself, but unfortunately the website that the citation is linked to apparently doesn't exist. Can someone fix the sentence and/or the link? Yesthatbruce (talk) 09:25, 30 April 2023 (UTC)Reply

If the source is dead and you cannot find it elsewhere remove it. The sentence is the not referenced so remove it too. Roger 8 Roger (talk) 09:31, 30 April 2023 (UTC)Reply

Self-published sources

"Instrumentally, Lifeson is renowned for his signature riffing, electronic effects and processing, unorthodox chord structures, and the copious arsenal of equipment he has used over the years"

The sentence above is a quote from the official Rush website, which should be considered a self-published source. Unless someone has better sources, particularly for "unorthodox chord structures" I think this should be deleted. All of the other listed things are very common and not unique to Alex Lifeson. 97.70.69.140 (talk) 19:21, 22 January 2025 (UTC)Reply

Indeed, what his promo material says about him is not a reliable source at all. For the time being, I've left just one of the three refs for that sentence (the other one was a missing Guitar Player article), but the sentence itself might need reworking or even removal.
