:::::Um… this isn’t a guideline. It’s an explanatory essay. [[User:Blueboar|Blueboar]] ([[User talk:Blueboar|talk]]) 21:19, 15 February 2025 (UTC)
::::::Well, I guess that changes a lot. Apologies for ignoring the banner at the top. [[User:Traumnovelle|Traumnovelle]] ([[User talk:Traumnovelle|talk]]) 21:22, 15 February 2025 (UTC)
:::::::[[WP:JUSTANESSAY]] is not a strong argument. To the extent that this page provides true and accurate information, the label at the top is irrelevant.
:::::::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".
