re:Dissertations as references
edit- Firstly, thanks for working on the article in the first place, your work is great, and I hope you continue. Dissertations aren't viewed as "reliable sources" because they aren't published. As in the article Six Moments Musicaux (Rachmaninoff), the same paper is cited often (see note 2), and as a result was rejected from Featured Article status, as seen at its candidate pages here and here.
- Since that article is steeped in citations, I haven't bothered to remove them yet, but oddly enough the article would be judged more favorably if that information was gone. Just an early warning, in case you are aiming toward those statuses. ALTON .ıl 23:36, 6 December 2007 (UTC)
