Story behind Well[]

The well definitely has a story behind it. On wowhead's page for the Made-A-Wish buff (gotten from the coin sitting next to the fountain), someone links to a blog wowpetaddiction.blogspot.com/2012/04/owens-wishing-well.html. Someone left an anonymous comment there:

Owen's wishing well was made in commemoration for a friend of mine. Owen was diagnosed with Osteosarcoma, A type of bone cancer when he was 14. He used his make a wish trip to go visit Blizzard inc and he was lucky enough to have this well and a cpu put in the game. Owen passed about two weeks ago at the age of 16. Seeing this makes me very happy, thank you for making this little segment on his little piece of the game.

What's the standard on referencing something like this? I doubt someone would randomly make the story up, however the only source we could give is a completely anonymous and unverifiable comment. Wait for more official word? MerryC (talk) 02:54, 7 October 2012 (UTC)

There HAS been at least one person who's gone to Blizzard in connection with Make-A-Wish (Ezra Chatterton), but I've never heard of this guy. Definitely leave it until we can get a verifiable source. -- Dark T Zeratul (talk) 17:34, 7 October 2012 (UTC)

It seems to have been confirmed by Blizzard that the location is indeed a reference to him. --g0urra[T҂C] 11:29, 7 December 2012 (UTC)
