I don't think I figured it out completely, but I added what reference I could. The code needs to be better. Please inform. Faulhada (talk) 02:00, 1 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Hi there. I'd like you to read up on reliable sources and original research. Glancing at what you did, it looks like what you have added is what we call "original research". This does not mean we are saying what you added is wrong or untrue, but Wikipedia is a tertiary source, which means we cite facts from secondary sources. Is the information published anywhere? I briefly searched online and in Google books and couldn't come up with anything but perhaps the Lane Co. historical society has something in print? Valfontis (talk) 18:56, 1 January 2015 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the info. I understand this is not a reliable or preferred source, but it's honestly all I have right now. The interview was performed as part of a doctorate. Maybe the UO has it on file for a better source? I have a copy of the original interview. I am preparing to submit it to the Applegate Museum in Veneta. Could we source it at the museum after its submitted? Faulhada (talk) 19:49, 1 January 2015 (UTC)


 * Thanks for understanding. We can cite the thesis, if it's complete, and yes the UO probably has a copy. This is the format: cite thesis. (I note with amusement that the example mentions ducks!) Valfontis (talk) 20:29, 1 January 2015 (UTC)
