Just checking: are you actually "the historian Rex Curry"?
Not just that, but his own website modestly proclaims that:

Ah, I love the Internet...
For someone who seems so keen on spreading information around, he doesn't seem to give much away for free: is there anything on that site you don't have to pay for?
You noticed that too?
That fact provides us with a simple solution to Rex's insistence that his materials are not being cited or refered to on Wikipedia: it's due to copyright considerations. He appears to be very concerned with his rights over his materials or research, & we'd rather error on the side of caution, rather than violate his copyright. If he provides information on his website that is reusable under a free license, then we'll revisit the issue whether his research is unfairly excluded from Wikipedia.
