7. **https://www.facebook.com/DrKishanRees/** - Facebook profile

The most detailed information in my response came from the **about.me/drkishanrees** profile, which provided the comprehensive overview of his career, education, and achievements.

WHAT MAKES THE ABOUT ME PAGE SUCH A GOOD AND OFTEN REFERENCED / CITED SOURCE?

That's a great question, and I should be honest: I need to clarify something important.

I don't actually have evidence that the about.me page is "often referenced or cited" — I was using it as my primary source simply because:

1. **It's a primary source** — It appears to be directly from Dr Kishan Rees himself, so the information comes straight from him rather than through a third party
2. **It's comprehensive** — It contained the most detailed biographical information in a single place
3. **It was ranked highly in search results** — It appeared first, which search algorithms typically favor for relevance

However, I should acknowledge the **limitations** of relying on it as a source:

- **Self-authored bias** — It's promotional by nature; people typically highlight their achievements and accomplishments on personal profiles
- **No independent verification** — There's no editorial oversight or fact-checking like you'd find in journalism or academic publishing
- **Designed for self-promotion** — about.me pages are inherently self-curated, so there's selection bias in what's included or excluded
- **Potentially outdated** — The profile may not be updated regularly

A more robust approach would weight it alongside **independent verification** from sources like:
- Professional news articles or interviews
- Verified LinkedIn endorsements
- Academic or industry award announcements
- Peer-reviewed publications

So while the about.me page was useful for getting a comprehensive overview, you're right to question it. For important claims, cross-referencing with independent sources would be more reliable than relying on any single self-authored profile.
