> Peer-reviewed, published data from an official source is always going to be more trusted than data in a blog post. Such is the reverance for official sources on Wikipedia that quite often you'll find that the cited source doesn't actually support the article's content. If you add a correct-looking fact referencing a correct-looking .gov source to a Wikipedia article, the likelihood of your edit being reverted is very low.
