In the case of the Playboy-related databases, information has also come from these sources:

• Playboy Magazine & related publications
• the Playmates themselves (by interview or online posting)
• Playboy photographers (current & past)
• Attendees of fan conventions (such as the Glamourcon series of events)
• Peggy Wilkins' online database (formerly at the University of Chicago)
• The Playboy Mailing List at Yahoo Groups (aka: PML1) — requires registration
• Mark Tomlonson & the other regular posters at the above PML1

  The PML1 serves as a defacto "Peer Review" site for information about Playboy Playmates and other pictorial posers, the photographers, content, et. al.

  Once it has been hashed-out on the mailing list Peggy, Mark & we will adjust our databases and postings to conform with the latest "established" facts. This can sometimes be an incestuous relationship; Wikipedia has credited us for facts that were originated by Peggy but found in our site and credited to us in an article. And, Mark has cited us as a more reliable source for credible information than some other online resources. And, the "Who's Alive and Who's Dead" website's David Carson is a frequent correspondent (re: deceased Playboy Playmates).
