Suggested Mythos Sources Awaiting Approval

When folks add a new Source to the system, it won't actually appear on the list until at least one other person agrees that it seems like a valid addition to the database.

If you see any Sources below that you recognize, that look genuine then if you click on the "I approve" link, the Source will become a permanent part of the database.

Any item still not approved after two weeks is assumed to be an inappropriate suggested Source and is permanently removed from the list.
