Description

The example http://scikit-learn.org/dev/auto_examples/svm/plot_svm_scale_c.html is very helpful to understand some concepts on model selection. However, I would like to have the references for some of the stated results and in general I think the example would also benefit from it. In particular, I would like to know where I can find the results on the l2 penalization paragraph.

If you point me to the references, I would be glad to submit a pull request :-)
