:::::::If you are in a dispute, and someone says 'Sometimes, a primary source is even the best possible source', I suggest that your reply will be more effective it it sounds more like "Yes, well, that might be true in theory, but this isn't one of those times" than like "That's 'just' a widely supported essay".

::::::::I won't reference specific disputes, but every time I have seen it used it is to justify inclusion of content I would characterise as either UNDUE or OR. [[User:Traumnovelle|Traumnovelle]] ([[User talk:Traumnovelle|talk]]) 21:37, 15 February 2025 (UTC)
:::::::::If someone is incorrectly pointing to this essay to justify adding UNDUE or OR material, I doubt they have actually read the essay. This essay attempts to explain how and when to use various sources ''correctly''. [[User:Blueboar|Blueboar]] ([[User talk:Blueboar|talk]]) 22:12, 15 February 2025 (UTC)
