Well, but that's not strictly speaking true. I mean, secondary sources, like any sources, are published for commercial reasons. What is commercial and what is important do not correspond perfectly. Primary sources matter. The issue is that we want to be very, very careful in how we summarize and use primary sources. But their use, generally speaking, is more or less a fact of life. -Phil _______________________________________________ WikiEN-l mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe from this mailing list, visit: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikien-l
