I think the unreliable sources should be removed. I will try to find reliable sources for substitution. Freinland (talk) 16:34, 10 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I have removed both the books.google.com and scribd.com links and replaced it with this link[1] which has been used in several other pages. Can you please have a look and check if this is independent and reliable or not? Freinland (talk) 16:41, 10 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
