I will expand the article utilizing these sources and others, just won't be able to get to it immediately. Cirt (talk) 02:10, 19 September 2008 (UTC)

Research section
editCirt, by the way, great job on the article.
On the Research section, if you have the book, Reiterman describes this on Preface pages xiv and xv. I can add a sentence or two, but I don't know if including Raven as a source for this sort of fact directly about the book still would run afoul of reliable sources. Also, the book contains 30 pages (pp. 581-610) of small fonted descriptions of notes and sources, including large numbers of people interviewed, documents, audio tapes, etc. Mosedschurte 05:06, 19 September 2008 (UTC)
- I think it's best if we avoid using the book itself as a primary reference as much as possible, though we can revisit that. I am trying to find other secondary sources which discuss the research for the book. Cirt (talk) 05:08, 19 September 2008 (UTC)
