Link for source on current existence checking

Hey I was looking back on my sources for the reddit post that someone else hastily copy-pasted into the original statement that the Class still exists and was wondering if my primary source, https://scalaenne.wordpress.com/2012/01/21/unaltra-locomotiva-di-guerra-la-ne-700/, as well as the wealth of photographic evidence that the locomotive claimed to be 7106 within it is still active, is up to scratch for being officially cited as a source.

That looks more like a blog than a reliable source… Danners430 (talk) 10:42, 3 January 2024 (UTC)

I will be perfectly honest and admit I'm at a loss here. Whilst there's plenty of photographic evidence that both 7103 and 7106 survive, the only online evidence I can find is a few scattered blogs, at least 2 photography websites, a reddit post that I personally wrote and, strangely, this article's Italian equivalent. You can rest assured that I didn't write the blogs in question as I was 9 in 2012 and also don't speak Italian.

Figured I should at least link the sources I mentioned though.

For obvious reasons I don't intend to cite these as official sources, especially not the Reddit post. Tythatguy1312 (talk) 15:27, 3 January 2024 (UTC)
