re your dissertation
[edit]I'm not saying that there's anything wrong with your dissertation, but as a rule we do not accept those as sources until there are references in other works establishing their reliability. Mangoe (talk) 19:25, 18 July 2013 (UTC)

[edit]Thanks much for the information. But what do you mean by reliable? It was approved by my dissertation committee at Columbia, and listed on the Academic Commons there. It's a work of history, not partisanship. Kevincmurphy (talk) 19:34, 18 July 2013
