Hello, Ddavis167, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Shalor and I work with the Wiki Education Foundation; I help support students who are editing as part of a class assignment.

I hope you enjoy editing here. If you haven't already done so, please check out the student training library, which introduces you to editing and Wikipedia's core principles. You may also want to check out the Teahouse, a community of Wikipedia editors dedicated to helping new users. Below are some resources to help you get started editing.

Hi! When it comes to citations, we have a guide here (aside from the module) that could be helpful. This wasn't made by us, but this video gives an overview of the citation adding process. Shalor (Wiki Ed) (talk) 15:06, 11 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi! I saw your post on my talk page - I've added the link to the bottom of the page. My only concern with this is that the source predates the book, so there are some issues in how it can be used and what can be included. Keep in mind that since the article is meant to be about the 1996 book, the dissertation should only be mentioned if it's covered within the book. If it's not mentioned then it would potentially be seen as original research to link the two together beyond a one sentence statement along the lines of "prior to this the author wrote on the topic for her dissertation in X year". It can't be used to back up any claims that are mentioned in the book but aren't in the dissertation, plus it also cannot show notability for the book.

Background

Hey Shalor, thanks for adding in the citation for me, but I'm confused about the difference between the dissertation and the article? I don't know if the dissertation was talked about within the book. Should I just state Goheen wrote a dissertation on the commodity of land, labor and symbolic capital in nso, Cameroon in 1985?

Thank you for your new article on "Men Own the Fields, Women Own the Crops". Note that it is currently an "Orphan" meaning that no other Wikipedia articles link TO it. This makes the article tough to find for interested readers. See WP:DE-ORPHAN for pointers.
