Sources and links generally

Attempts have been made to use (1) posts on discussion boards in Maltese and (2) posts on discussion boards you can't access without registering for the board as sources for facts stated on this article. This definitely does run counter to (a) common sense and (b) Wiki guidelines on sources. So I removed them.  
An attempt was also made to restore a link to a website called "The Lowellist" which previously just showed a "you've been hacked" message and now doesn't work at all. So I removed it.
