@L d allan: Please refrain from making claims as to which cameras the principal developers may or may not own, unless your assertions can be supported by reliable references. As far as I'm aware, nobody even knows who A1ex et al really are, let alone which camera(s) they own. Also, one of your previous edits suggested that Magic Lantern is not available for the 7D, which it most certainly is. Wikipedia is not a repository for opinions (or original research); Everything ought to be backed-up by references. Try to bear that in mind when making edits.

@Nagualdesign: Sorry to be slow responding. The info about the 7D in the ML article prior to my edits was it was supported. I didn't change that, but I'll assume your comments were in good faith or you had my edits confused with someone else. It appears that most of my other changes that you removed have been restored by other editors. I'll acknowledged that the "citation needed" warnings weren't unjustified. I have submitted an OP to the ML forum on those ^[1] I'm also checking on other statements I made that you deleted without "citation needed" warnings, that have not yet been restored.

Canon blocking Magic Lantern on latest 5D Mark III

WP Reliable Sources rules do not apply to this article?

The references in this article primarily consist of the subject's web site, forums, and wikis. Even the Petapixel one is quoting a self-published guy who provides no credentials. Per WP:RS, posts on internet forums are largely not acceptable, wikis are generally unacceptable, self-published sources require credentials of some sort, and primary sources can be used if they meet certain criteria. I placed an unreliable sources tag on the article, which was reverted twice: the first claimed it's OK in this article (why?), the second time he claimed he verified the sources (without a cite that's WP:OR). The tag provides a link on when it cam be removed from the article. Those conditions have not been met, so I am restoring the tag 184.209.3.85 (talk) 21:56, 20 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Fair enough. Everything you said is correct. I'll leave it to you to work out if and why any of the claims made within the article are factual and notable. Maybe you can provide better references? nagual design 01:28, 21 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I wouldn't have tagged it if I was aware of any better references. I just cannot find very much. The best I could find was a magazine article saying Lens Rentals thinks ML is "stable enough" to offer a "hacked" 5D Mark III: http://www.popphoto.com/news/2013/08/lensrentals-supports-magic-lantern-starts-offering-5d-mark-iii-pre-hacked. I was hoping to find more specifics than that. I was hoping that fans of ML might have saved hyperlinks to "real" articles about it. 68.247.218.87 (talk) 01:56, 22 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Why is this here? It looks like blatant coattails - especially as it's in the lead section. Rklawton (talk) 23:28, 30 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
