Did You Know
A fact from this article appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the "Did you know?" column on September 25, 2008.
The text of the entry was: Did you know ... that multiple book reviews have referred to Raven: The Untold Story of the Rev. Jim Jones and His People as the definitive book on Jim Jones and the Peoples Temple?

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)[reply]

Some of these may be used already but there might be some additional citable material there as well, will go back and recheck later. Cirt (talk) 09:03, 25 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Research section

[edit]

Cirt, 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)[reply]

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)[reply]
Thanks for your work Cirt, your searching capabilities are apparently much stronger than my own :-) Keeper ǀ 76 14:29, 19 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
