Finding website for inspiration: "Lonely Planet"

As I mentioned before I am thinking of diving my travel guide in different section. Every section will be aimed for a different kind of person based on their interests. Each one of this section will cover different aspects of Milan and to get an idea of what to include I went on Lonely Planet website and searched for ideas. Here is what I found:

Link of Milano section on Lonely Planet website: http://www.lonelyplanet.com/italy/milan

This was definitely a great inspiration and I will think about this categories because I do know that Lonely Planet is known as a pretty good travel guide and might really help me with my project. unluckily I don't own a copy of a guide about Milan by Lonely Planet.

ANALYSIS OF THE SOURCE: 
Origin:  I am pretty sure that this website can be edited by anyone who is part of the Lonely Planet organization as a consequence this source was created by many people. It is a collection of many places to go to as a consequence it's a secondary source.
Purpose: this specific page of the website is a collection of places to go to and stay in Milan. The point is to persuade people to make a trip to Milan and get the best out of it by following teh advises that the website is giving out.
Value: I don't have any reason to believe that anything that was written on this website is not true as Lonely Planet is considered to be one of the most reliable travel guides ever. It might be a bit biased as it is a persuasive tool but I believe that all the places listed actually exist as there is a website, address and other information given as well.
Limitations: it is possible to verify the content of this web page by going on the website given as a consequence I can't really think of any important limitations.
